The long list of college football awards were officially announced yesterday (besides the Heisman, of course). No surprise, the most prestigious hardware went to Jameis Winston, ESPN reported.

On the support of 3,800 yards, 38 TDs, and one of the most dominating regular seasons played by a college football team in some time (smallest win margin: 14 points), Winston won the highest honors for both a player and a quarterback: the Walter Camp player of the year award and the Davey O'Brien Award for the nation's best quarterback. During a press conference at the awards ceremony in Florida, Winston addressed his recently dismissed sexual assault case in a surprisingly direct manner.

"I know I did nothing wrong," Winston said. "People just got to realize that my family, and the coaches, and Coach (Jimbo) Fisher, they just supported me through this whole process, and I just feel so loved by that -- you just don't understand just how much that means to me."

Given his status as the nation's best quarterback and its best player, it's hard to imagine Winston not winning the Heisman. In fact, he's one of the clearest picks in recent history. Though his stats maybe aren't unusual, their enough to put him first in a relatively star-less year. The Sporting News, for example, have Winston at 1-10 odds, according to their website. The next best line is 15-to-1 for Auburn running back Tre Mason (1,600 yards, 22 TDs). Winston's chances are also bolstered by the statistic that six of the last seven Walter Camp winners went on to win the Heisman, according to ESPN. Manti Teo, who won the award last year but lost to Johnny Manziel in the Heisman voting, was the only exception.

Alabama's AJ McCarron is only the third most likely winner, according to the Sporting News, though he did win the Maxwell Award for the nation's most outstanding player. If Heisman voters prize "outstanding" (however that distinguishes from "best") over everything else, maybe "the greatest QB in the history of the Crimson Tide's storied program," according to the Sporting News, will pull the upset. Not likely, however, as even McCarron admits he probably didn't deserve the award. Past winners include Cam Newton, Andrew Luck, and Manti Teo.

"Super surprised," McCarron told ESPN. "I don't think I'm the best player out of the other two guys that were mentioned (Manziel, Winston), but I can't thank them enough. It's an honor to be here."

Had Alabama beat Auburn, perhaps McCarron would have heisted the award during a season in which he didn't break 3,000 yards or 30 TDs (but only threw five picks). Had Florida State lost, he may have even been the favorite.
