Not that they mean a whole lot, but when we start to see all the watch lists for the college football awards start to pour out, we know college football is almost here. We are still about a month away from all of that hitting the news cycle, but once they come, it’ll be hard to keep up with as a myriad of Ohio State players are sure to be included
To win the award, you have to be recognized, and there’s a lot of times were players that begin the preseason on the watch list make it all the way to the end, so it does mean a little something. Of course, these things will change and be added to as the season gets longer in the tooth, but we thought it would be nice to organize when all of the National College Football Awards Association watch lists are release so you can keep track if you are also into that sort of thing
