You read that right. Colt McCoy was named offensive player of the year in the Big 12 by the Associated Press on Friday, but was on the all Big 12 2nd team.
How does this happen? Well it is the Big 12. It is a conference which no one can understand. Don't get me wrong, this is the hardest conference to decide POY and 1st and 2nd team quarterback, but how can the best offensive player in your conference not be on the 1st team?
Sam Bradford of Oklahoma was the Big 12's 1st team quarterback. The reasoning behind it is simple, too.
Bradford is the best quarterback in the Big 12. He is the best at throwing the ball around and getting it to his playmakers, which is what most people think of when they think about a quarterback.
McCoy has probably been more important to his team than Bradford and that is why McCoy gets the POY but is only a 2nd teamer. After all, Bradford has 46 touchdown passes to only 6 interceptions while McCoy threw for 32 touchdowns to 7 interceptions.
My favorite part about McCoy is the fact that he led his team in rushing. He had 200 yards more on the ground then the next guy on the team.

Ya, it's pretty screwed up. In a way it makes sense, but I feel like if they pick McCoy as the poy in the Big 12, then they should at least be consistent and put him on the 1st team as well. At this point I have no idea who will get Heisman as it's not clear cut. I guess Tebow could end up getting the Heisman over both of them possibly.
