Bleacher Report College Football Awards for the 2018 Season

The two-week gap between college football's conference championship week and the beginning of bowl games is unofficially "trophy season," and Bleacher Report's experts voted on several awards, ranging from Best Play to Top Assistant Coach, Comeback Player of the Year, Biggest Upset and everything in between.

Five members of Bleacher Report's college football staff—David Kenyon, Adam Kramer, Kerry Miller, Brad Shepard and Ian Wharton—voted on the 14 awards. The voters identified the best individuals, games and moments of the year.

For each award—presented in no particular order—we have a winner and a runner-up.
