Watch live: American Football Coaches Awards presented by Amway

USA TODAY Sports

Now that a new national champion is crowned and the Alabama Crimson Tide are once again kings of the college football world, it's time to shift the spotlight.

We look to Charlotte for the annual American Football Coaches Association Awards Show, presented by Amway — slated for 8 p.m. ET Tuesday and hosted exclusively by the USA TODAY Network.

More than 8,000 coaches, former coaches and players will gather to present end-of-season awards, including Football Bowl Subdivision Coach of the Year and Amway Coach's Call of the Year, powered by USA TODAY Sports.

The coach of the year finalists will be presented by a coaching star. Central Florida’s Scott Frost, now taking over at Nebraska, will be introduced by former Huskers coach Frank Solich; Georgia’s Kirby Smart by Virginia’s Bronco Mendenhall; Wisconsin’s Paul Chryst by Northwestern’s Pat Fitzgerald; Iowa State’s Matt Campbell by TCU’s Gary Patterson, and Fresno State’s Jeff Tedford by Liberty’s Turner Gill. Last year's FBS Coach of the Year was Colorado's Mike MacIntyre.

This year's event, showcased at the NASCAR Hall of Fame, will be hosted by Rick Neuheisel, the former UCLA coach and Rose Bowl-winning quarterback for the Bruins, as well as former ESPN broadcaster Bonnie Bernstein.
