Florida State’s Dalvin Cook has his work cut out for him in 2016. He is the face of the Seminoles’ program and the best weapon on a team hoping to compete for a spot in the College Football Playoff. Yet he is also a national underdog when it comes to the best players in the country. Heck, he may be a favorite to win the Heisman Trophy and find it difficult to win his own conference’s Player of the Year award.
Last year, the ACC named Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson its Player of the Year. Watson returns to school for another season this year and enters as the national betting favorite to win the Heisman Trophy.
