With some conference regular seasons coming to an end this weekend, postseason honors will start to be handed out as early as next week. Before that, we wanted a chance to amend our preseason predictions on the player of the year races in every conference. Why wait and let the conferences have all the fun?
So much has changed since October: Some players had impacts that weren’t anticipated, plenty of transfers worked out better than expected, and injuries changed the POY favorites and teams’ fortunes in the standings. It has led to incredibly tight competitions such as in the SEC with multiple players still in the running, as well as one-on-one battles in the Big Ten with a showdown between JuJu Watkins and Lauren Betts.
Before the formal announcements begin next week, here is one last look at what we think could — and should — happen in the voting for player of the year in each conference.
All statistics are through Feb. 26 games.
