The Robinson & Buchanan winner know before the banquet. It is only the Payton Award winner that does not know until it is announced.

Kroy Berman definitely is deserving, and Farley as well. Congrats to UNI and coach Farley if this is true.

It's kinda weird to treat one out of three differently, don't you think?

[WildcatFan]

Also, I could be wrong but I don't think the winners are suppose to tell the media before the eventxeekx xeekx

I agree but that is the way they run it. Only the winner of the Robinson and Buchanan go to the banquet but all three Payton finalists go.

Who thought that up? Are all of the rest of the finalists down in Chatty then? I would hope they don't have everyone fly down to give 15 the shaft. That sounds very BCS.

No, the rest of the finalists are not in Chattanooga (unless of course they play for ASU or UD.)

There were 16 finalists for the Robinson...only one went. I think that means 15 didn't have to go to get shafted.

Same thing for the Buchanon..only the winner.

There are only 3 finalists for the Payton, all three of them go.

Wow, check this link to the Sports Network that shows how close the voting was for the Buchanan

Lynch only lost by 5 points

At least someone has a modicum of respect for the other contenders' feelings. I just hate seeing people left dangling - even felt bad for Matt Linehart on draft day way back. Just a little....

[UNI Pike]

I am surprised by the margin on the Robinson award. Bohl kinda got short changed, don't you think - 2 BCS wins. Do you think the last week loss to SDSU hurt a great deal?

[Fordham]

I too am surprised, as a homer, that Masella was 7th in voting.

Congrats to the winners.
