The Rimington Trophy is awarded to the nation's outstanding college center, and it was established in the year 2000 because somebody noticed that there wasn't an award given to the nation's outstanding college center. That's a crime. The center, as we all know, is King of the Offensive Line and the nation's best center probably deserves a trophy and a battleship. But that's meat for another column.

It may surprise you to learn that no Underdog has won the Rimington Trophy in the award's 15 year history. However, a hefty 25 Underdogs make the 2016 Rimington Trophy Watch List, all of them outstanding candidates and excellent student-athletes.
