College Football Awards Show 2017: Start time, TV schedule, live stream info, and finalists
With the regular season now over, it’s time to recognize some of the best players and coaches in the country.
The Home Depot College Football Awards Show will get underway on Thursday at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN, with some of the best college football players and coaches being honored for their exemplary work throughout the 2017 season.
Three Heisman Trophy finalists will be in New York for the award ceremony, but the results for college football’s most esteemed honor won’t be announced until Saturday night. Until then, there are 20 other awards and trophies to be given to the best players at their position, as well as the best coaches.
Many of the finalists are up for more than one award, including: Saquon Barkley (4), Bradley Chubb (2), Minkah Fitzpatrick (3), Lamar Jackson (2), Bryce Love (4), Baker Mayfield (4), Ed Oliver (2), Roquan Smith (3), and Blaise Taylor (2).
Many of these players will find themselves back on campus following the ceremony to start preparing for their bowl games, while others will have to make some pretty tough decisions about their future in college football or if they’ll instead declare early for the NFL draft.
