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!

Next to USC, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better secondary in the Pac-10 (and the country) than the one in Berkeley. Last season, the Bears finished 6th nationally in pass efficiency defense, 3rd in the nation with 24 interceptions, 2nd in red zone defense, and 10th in third-down efficiency defense.
As impressive as the 2008 season was, the unit has a chance to be even better in 2009.
Defensive coordinator Bob Gregory and defensive backs coach Al Simmons will have the services of virtually every contributor from last year, and they will welcome fresh new talent as well.
One of America’s best cornerbacks will headline this unit, and he is looking to end his remarkable career in Berkeley with another tremendous season.
