It's the sixth anniversary of the Herbies, and we're celebrating with one of the top classes of award winners. This list has everything to do with the playmakers, the hogmollies, the difference makers and, in short, just great college football players. It has nothing -- nothing -- to do with their pro potential.  Herbies are given to the best college football players, coaches, teams and fans from across the nation.  Also, this is just my list. These are my choices and not everyone will agree. That's the beauty of it. Let the second-guessing begin.  So, without further ado, the sixth annual Herbie Awards.

 

Marshawn Lynch is listed as the 3^rd best running back; DeSean Jackson is the 7^th best receiver; Brandon Mebane is the 4^th best defensive tackle; Desmond Bishop is the 2^nd best inside linebacker; Daymeion Hughes is the #1 cornerback; Nate Longshore is listed as the #2 “player who will be household names by October”; and Jeff Tedford is the #2 “favorite player caller”;
