Before every college football season, a series of watch lists are released to let fans know who the award committees will be closely following for each of college football’s awards. With outstanding play, a player not on the preseason watch list can still go on to win the award. The preseason watch list is just a good indication of which players are considered the early favorites to win the award.
Listed below are all of the Pac-10 players who were included on the national lists. The only two awards not listed are the Heisman Trophy and the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award. The Heisman Trophy does not release a preseason watch list, and the Unitas Award, which is handed out to the nation’s best senior college quarterback, had no Pac-10 players on their watch list.
Congratulations to the players named, and good luck taking home the hardware!

The ASU Sun Devils have good reason to be excited about their defense in 2009. A blazingly fast secondary and a strong linebacking core should make a lot of big plays all season. Those two units look good, but the real strength of this defense is the defensive line.
Last season the unit helped the defense put up some fairly respectable numbers in some key categories finishing 33rd nationally in rushing defense, 44th nationally in total defense, and 14th in the nation in tackles for loss per game (7.08).
With a solid core to compliment all-star Dexter Davis, Coach Erickson and his staff have a defensive line that should be even better in 2009.
