------------------------------


At the beginning of the season, several Alabama players were placed on preseason watch lists for different individual awards given out to college football players at the end of the regular season. Since then, some players have regressed, others have improved enough to be added to consideration, and some are right where we expected them to be. We’ve reached the point in the season when these awards begin to narrow their lists and announce semifinalists and finalists. With that said, here are the Alabama players currently listed as contenders for various individual awards this season.

Maxwell Award (Player of the Year)
Amari Cooper (semifinalist)- only WR on list

Walter Camp Player of the Year
Amari Cooper (semifinalist)
Blake Sims (semifinalist)

Chuck Bednarik Award (Defensive Player of the Year)
Landon Collins (semifinalist)

Biletnikoff Award (Best Receiver)
Amari Cooper (semifinalist)

Bronko Nagurski Award (Defensive Player of the Year)
Landon Collins (finalist)

Davey O’Brien Award (Best Quarterback)
Blake Sims (semifinalist)

Jim Thorpe Award (Best Defensive Back)
Landon Collins (semifinalist)

Butkus Award (Best Linebacker)
Reggie Ragland (semifinalist)

Lott IMPACT Trophy (Defense: Performance and Character)
Landon Collins (semifinalist)

Ray Guy Award (Best Punter)
JK Scott (semifinalist)- only freshman on list

Campbell Trophy (Scholar Athlete)
Arie Kouandjio (semifinalist)

The Heisman Trophy, without question the most prestigious individual award in college football, will not announce semifinalists and finalists during the season. After Championship Weekend (SEC, Big Ten, PAC-12 and ACC Champ games), they will announce which 3-6 players are invited to the ceremony in New York.

Thanks! I look for a list like that and couldn't find it. That why I ask you guys, I knew someone on here would know.

Is it only me that doesn't give a damn about the Heisman anymore after the Newton and Winston won it? They say they take integrity, community outreach, and the epitome of a student athlete wins this award, but I call bullshit if they can give it to those two idiots. Plus, they don't even give it to the team's most important player like they advertise. I can say with confidence that Cooper is the guy that kept our heads above water until we got in sync, and we are a freaking title contender, so I see it being him or Mariota when you look at stats and just what they mean to their teams.

I've never given a damn about it until Mark won, I quickly went back to not giving a damn.

Yep, pretty much what I thought it was. But boy, have they gotten so far away from that it ain't funny. What a garbage organization anymore.

That parallels what Dennis Miller said about the World Cup. He said that before the World Cup he hated soccer. he said he watched the World Cup, enjoyed watching it, but after it was over he went back to hating soccer.
