A few notes.
1. SLC had not updated stats pages on their website yet so I have left those names bolded to note that their numbers may change. I used school website numbers
2. I added an OL from SEMO. Yes, he is that good.
3. WR Bobby Hartzog of Texas Southern is about 2 big weeks away from making a big splash on the awards list. This guy is very good. He has draftable talent. I have him as a PFA right now though.
4. If I had to pick a top 3 for Buchanan Award it would be Olson, Blunt, and Roberson.
5. My top 3 for Payton Award would probably be Christion, Maier, and Stick. Hodges has gaudy numbers but too many picks to make my top 3.

2. I added an OL from SEMO. Yes, he is that good.
3. WR Bobby Hartzog of Texas Southern is about 2 big weeks away from making a big splash on the awards list. This guy is very good. He has draftable talent. I have him as a PFA right now though.
4. If I had to pick a top 3 for Buchanan Award it would be Olson, Blunt, and Roberson.
5. My top 3 for Payton Award would probably be Christion, Maier, and Stick. Hodges has gaudy numbers but too many picks to make my top 3.
