SBNation has gotten into the game of post-seasons College Football awards with the Piesman Trophy. I mentioned this in last week's edition of Hitting the Links, but I wanted to give it more attention this week. For one thing, the trophy has Bret Bielema talking.
Also, while the college football awards that already exist honor hard work and excellence of players and coaches, they are more formal than fun. There are watch lists, omissions, voting committees, corporate tie-ins, and the weight of tradition attached to each of these awards. I do not consider this a bad thing necessarily.
