QB: Kyler Murray, Oklahoma

By the slimmest of voting margins, Murray edged out Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa for first-team honors on the strength of a closing push in which Oklahoma's suspect defense compelled him to score almost every time the Sooners had the ball. Murray accounted for 4,945 total yards and 51 touchdowns as a runner and a passer, and his 96.1 QBR is the best mark through the end of the regular season since ESPN began to track the metric in 2004.

WR: Marquise Brown, Oklahoma

Sooners fans are crossing their fingers that Brown's left leg injury in the Big 12 title game won't compromise his explosiveness or his availability for the Orange Bowl. Brown's 1,318 receiving yards as a junior set the pace for the Murray-led passing attack, and he and teammate CeeDee Lamb became the school's first receiver duo to surpass 1,000 yards in the same season.
