SEC football fans crave trophies and awards. Whether it be a rivalry game, individual award, bowl trophy, SEC Football trophy or national championship — SEC football fans love having stuff to brag about.
Unlike most collegiate conferences, there is as much conference pride for many SEC football fans as there is pride in their own team. As a result, SEC football fans want to know how many from their favorite conference make awards watch lists like the Maxwell and Bednarik. Just so we’re all clear: the Maxwell goes to the country’s best offensive player, while the Bednarik goes to the nation’s best defensive player.
