But there’s one more point of order before the season reaches its final zenith: awarding the nation’s best players, coaches and positional groups for their on-field accomplishments.

Chief among those awards is the Heisman Trophy, which has the distinction of being the most prestigious individual award in collegiate sports. But there are other awards that must be taken care of, including the Biletnikoff (top receiver), Doak Walker (top running back) and more.

Apart from positional awards are various national player of the year awards, including those from The Sporting News: a fitting, final acknowledgment of another fantastic season of college football.
