PrintLast week the mainstream media had its fun handing out hardware for the 2009 ACC football season. I asked the best ACC bloggers around to submit their own ballots for postseason football awards. The results are after the jump. I'd like to give a big thanks to everyone who participated.

Coach of the Year
Georgia Tech's Paul Johnson is the blogger's choice for 2009 ACC Coach of the Year. Johnson's Yellow Jackets quickly put the kibosh on the notion that the ACC would quickly catch up to his spread flexbone offense. Georgia Tech will participate in its first BCS game when it faces Iowa in the Orange Bowl.
Paul Johnson, GT - 11
Frank Spaziani, BC - 3
Dabo Swinney, CU - 3
Randy Shannon, MIA - 2
David Cutcliffe, DU - 1
Offensive Player of the Year
Clemson's C.J. Spiller was the overwhelming choice for the conference's offensive player of the year, according to the conference's bloggers. Spiller led the league in all-purpose yards with 2,512. He helped lead Clemson to its first appearance in the ACCCG.
C.J. Spiller, CU - 13
Ryan Williams, VT - 4
Josh Nesbitt, GT - 3
Defensive Player of the Year
In the closest vote, Georgia Tech's Derrick Morgan took home defensive player of the year honors. Morgan was a terror at defensive end for the Yellow Jackets, leading the league in sacks with 12.5.
Derrick Morgan, GT - 7
Luke Kuechly, BC - 4
Robert Quinn, UNC - 4
DeAndre McDaniel, CU - 3
Nate Collins, UVA - 1
Quan Sturdivant, UNC - 1
Rookie of the Year
Virginia Tech's Ryan Williams was the near-unanimous vote for rookie of the year. The only two bloggers to not vote for Williams gave him their vote for offensive player of the year. Williams led the ACC in rushing yards with 1,538 and scored 19 touchdowns, both ACC freshman records.
Ryan Williams, VT - 18
Luke Kuechly, BC - 2

Best?
Since we weren’t invited to participate, it is obvious that you don’t consider TechSuperfans to be one of the best ACC blogs. I’m sorry to see that.
LOL, not that it matters but...
after seeing who won, our picks would have matched who the actual winners were except that Cody Grimm would have been our vote for Defensive Player of the Year.
Calm down. I limited it
to two per school. Don’t worry, you’ll get an e-mail from me for a postseason thing I’m cooking up for Hokie blogs.
