The first 12-team College Football Playoff lies ahead in the coming weeks, but the 2024 college football regular season is now in the rearview mirror.

That means it’s time for awards to be presented to some of the country’s top coaches and players for their standout performances throughout the year.

While the four-player race for the Heisman Trophy is among the most highly anticipated award announcements, there’s a long list of honors to be given out. 

The Sporting News is tracking all awards for college football season, including our own, highlighting the finalists, categories, and more.
