2010 BP Football Awards - open for voting via PM
For the past 5 years, the members of BuckeyePlanet have voted for the top college football players at each position, plus the best overall player, and the best head coach. These awards, which are named after Buckeye greats, are like our versions of the Heisman, the Butkus, the Thorpe, etc. Past award winners are linked below:
Note: You do not have to vote for the BP All-America team; the team will be comprised of the top vote-getters from each award.
PS - as an incentive for voting, you will receive "greenies" from me upon submitting your ballot. A simple "I voted", or "PM sent" post in this thread makes that easy for me.

- Send your ballot to me, by PM, by 5 p.m. on Wednesday, December 8th.
- For each award, please list your top three selections, in order from first to third. A first place vote will be worth three points, a second place vote two points, and a third place vote one point. It is very important to list three players per award, as at least one of the winners from a previous year had fewer first place votes than the runner-up, but accumulated more overall points due to 2nd and 3rd place votes.
- You need not vote on every award. For example, some people may not want to waste time trying to figure out the nation's best punter, but really want to cast their votes for Chimdi Chekwa for The Assassin. That's fine with me - I just ask that your partial ballot contain three players for each award on which you actually voted.
- If you are a college football junkie, and/or having nothing better to do with your time, I would appreciate complete ballots so that we can name winners for The Nuuuuuuge, The Skladany, The Pancake, and some of the other awards which aren't too sexy (or which require too much research/game watching).
- Please try to be reasonable with your selections. The idea is not to give every award to a Buckeye. Strive to be fair and objective.
- Anyone and everyone can vote! You don't need any special qualifications to vote, other than the ability to: (a) send me a PM (b) with your ballot (c) with three selections per award (d) on or before 5 p.m. on Wednesday, December 8th. It's that easy! Now go vote!
- If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a PM.
Note: You do not have to vote for the BP All-America team; the team will be comprised of the top vote-getters from each award.
