2008 Preseason Mid-Major MVP Award

As an alternative to the Heisman Trophy, which generally goes to a player from a BCS-aligned school, NationalChamps.net would also like to honor the best mid-major player(s). Below is our 2008 Preseason Top Ten list containing the most valuable mid-major (FBS Subdivision, formerly I-A) college football players from across the country.

Congratulations go out to all mid-major players who also participate in football at the top collegiate level, especially those receiving enough votes to compete for this prestigious accolade. It is NationalChamps.net’s effort to recognize the quality contributions of those outstanding individuals at the mid-major level who may not otherwise have an award they can realistically achieve, yet so glaringly deserve.
