Athlon Awards: Running Back Units [82]

Oregon's LaMichael James is back for another run as the Heisman.

They're the teams within the team - those cohesive little units bound together by their shared responsibilities within the larger team context.

Whether it's the offensive linemen firing off time after time into those familiar blocking sleds, or the defensive linemen drilling repeatedly on how to shed blockers, or the defensive backs breaking on ball after ball - these teams in miniature hone their tasks on the practice field until those tasks become second nature.

Athlon's editors debate which quarterback is the best in the conference.

The Big 12, Pac-12 and Big Ten are three of the deepest quarterback conferences in the nation. Athlon's editors have debated which quarterback they would vote No. 1 in the Big 12 [105], and Andrew Luck is a pretty clear choice in the Pac-12.

Coaching jobs [107]

If you are a free agent coach, which programs are the most attractive jobs in the Big Ten?

We have ranked every college football [108] program in the country, based on the attractiveness of the position from a coaching perspective. We considered many factors — tradition, facilities, location, money — but in the end, we simply asked ourselves the following question: Where would we want to coach?

(Note: Current or impending NCAA sanctions were not a factor in these rankings.)
