Selection Process
While more than a dozen All-America teams are selected annually, the Rimington Trophy committee uses these three prestigious teams to determine a winner:

Walter Camp Foundation (WCF)
Sporting News (SN)
Football Writers Association of America (FWAA)

Because the selectors of these three All-America teams can place centers in a “mix” of offensive linemen that includes guards and tackles, their 11-man first teams can often have two centers. The Rimington Trophy committee’s policy is to count all players that play primarily the center position for their respective teams as centers, even though they may be listed as guards or tackles on the All- America teams.

The center with the most first team votes will be determined the winner. If there is a tie with first team votes, then the center with the most second team votes will win.

Frank Coyle is a long-time scout with nationwide ties with NFL and college coaches, scouts and player agents. He is a member of the FWAA and voter in College player awards – Heisman, Outland, Nagurski, Lombardi, Thorpe, Biletnikoff etc for the past 34 years. He writes College Football Mondays weekly during the season. He was a longtime scouting consultant for the Senior Bowl, the nation’s premier postseason All-star game. He does sports radio shows for CBS, ESPN, Fox Sports and Sporting News on a year-round basis related to NFL and College Football especially during the postseason team and All-star Bowl time. He has worked for CBS Sports, USA Today, NBC Sports, Yahoo and Rivals sports publications and web sites.

The Pony Express Award Announces Mid-Season Watch List

Draft Insiders’ Staff

Annual Award Celebrating Best Tandem in College Football to be Presented in December

DALLAS, TX (Oct. 15, 2026) – The Pony Express Award announced its mid-season watch list for 2026, a regular season award that honors the best tandem in college football, regardless of position. Craig James and Eric Dickerson – former teammates at SMU and proud members of various Halls of Fame from high school to the NFL – created the award to celebrate selflessness, collaboration, and true team excellence.

“Eric and I have always been about team success over individual success,” said James. “It’s how we were coached from a young age through high school, as SMU teammates and eventually the NFL. A ‘we’ honor in a ‘me’ era, The Pony Express Award is presented annually to the most dynamic and selfless tandem in college football. While on-field performance certainly matters, this recognition is rooted in an unshakable team-first mindset.”

Added Dickerson, “The Pony Express Award is about the players who set the tone of their team’s culture. There are some really good duos who have stepped up in the first half of the season. We can’t wait to see who sets themselves apart.”

Whether it’s a QB and WR with undeniable chemistry, two offensive linemen paving the way down the field, or a linebacker-safety combo relentlessly anchoring the defense (or other duo/combinations), the award looks for tandems who embody the spirit of The Pony Express Award. James’ and Dickerson’s shared faith as brothers-in-Christ has been the foundation of their near 50-year relationship.

The final award winners are not necessarily limited to this mid-season watch list, as new candidates continually present themselves as the season continues.

The Pony Express Award winners will be announced in December.

2026 Biletnikoff Award Watch List – New Additions

The Biletnikoff Award recognizes the college football season’s outstanding FBS receiver, regardless of position. Any player, regardless of position (wide receiver, tight end, split end, inside receiver, slot back or running back) who catches a pass is eligible for the award. As such, the Biletnikoff Award recognizes the outstanding receiver, not merely the outstanding wide receiver. The award recipient is selected by the highly distinguished Biletnikoff Award National Selection Committee, a group of prominent college football journalists, commentators, and former receivers. Foundation trustees do not vote and have never voted. BiletnikoffAward.com/voters

Receivers are periodically added to the watch list as their season performances dictate. Actual, not potential, performance is the basis for inclusion on the Biletnikoff Award Watch List. The transparently detailed and explicit criteria for candidate eligibility, watch list inclusion, and voting appear at: BiletnikoffAward.com/criteria

Frank Coyle has been an active voter in this award since its inception.  He votes in all the major awards, Heisman, Jim Thorpe, Nagurski, Paul Hornung etc.

Aside from the QB role, the wide receiver spot has become the premier position in the NFL game. It has become the position which supplies the most draft prospects, in addition to the most UDFA prospects after the NFL Draft. This year this class is headed by wide receiver Jeremiah Smith who is having a dominant performance vs top tier defenders. He combines all the qualities to become a premeier NFL receiver. He will be tested to the fullest to win the Biletnikoff award which is a loaded group of  pass catchers. 

+Player removed from consideration due to season-ending injury without playing in the required minimum number of games.
