COACH OF THE YEAR Bill Snyder, Kansas State: Directed the Wildcats to a share of only their third conference championship since 1934. Despite being picked in the middle of the Big 12 before the season, Snyder led KSU to its first No. 1 position in the BCS in school history before a late-season loss to Baylor. The Wildcats led the nation in turnover margin, punt returns and kickoff returns and finished third in fewest penalties. Snyder is the Big 12's only finalist for the Eddie Robinson Award given to the nation's top coach. Photo: LM Otero, Associated Press / AP
