I don't care too much about who wins awards. For prestige it's nice but I'd rather have 10 players on watch lists versus 1 or 2 guys win an award. To me watch lists show you more about where the talent is on a team (and amount of talent) than anything else.
For example, the smack talk about Nelson versus Wynn. Even some Utes are grudgingly giving Nelson the nod but plenty of zoobs saying how much Nelson sucks (including myself). But he is on the QB watch list. Which really only puts him in the top third of college QBs. So for as much as we (Utes and Cougs) think Nelson sucks, he really is decent and the gap between him and Wynn may be bigger than we say. I mean Utes downgrade Nelson cuz he's a Cougar. Zoobs downgrade Nelson cuz he's below what we are used to from QBs here.
Time will tell.
