Looking at the 25 finalist its hard to imagine anyone other then the two finalist not being Kelley and EB3 again.

Looking at the numbers alone ..... one would say Kelley should get it but here is my big gripe....Kelley plays teams twice in the same season...WHAT A CROCK! IMAGINE if EB3 played Idaho twice or Sothern Utah twice....he would have maybe 5k or more...
Crappy thing is no one will look that deep when they are voting.

I dont think they announce the winner until right before the championship game so dont playoff numbers factor into the vote?
No playoffs don't count in this at all.....all the voting is in.

Best on the Coaches show hinted at awards... Didn't say anything specific but I was only half listening. Most awards are team awards but a dig damn arm doesn't hurt ;-)

Totally agree, most of the voters will just look at the stats to make their decision. No way Cole Kelley puts up those numbers against the same competition EB3 faced. I think it will be close, but with Cole Kelley winning last year, I think he gets the nod again this year.
 
Is that correst Kelly has 442 yards and 16 rushing td's?
Guess they weren't scared to run their qb.
My guess we'd be undefeated if we ran ours.

Yep those are correct regarding rushing. There is something though to be said for spreading the wealth. But again no one looks at it that way when voting.
 
EB3 unanimous offensive player of the year in the BigSky... lots of people on All BigSky teams too..

It’s unfortunate but the SELA guy probably wins it again. I don’t think they account for the strength of the opposition or anything like that. It seems to be just a stats game.
