Aaron Murray finds himself on a list where he aptly belongs...

...which is among the nation's most underrated players. He was number 3 on the list of five nominees. This came after Murray has been left off Phil Steele's four, count'em FOUR, All-SEC teams (behind Newton, Mallet, McElroy and Hartline), the AP All-SEC teams and mentions, and the AP Freshman All-American First Team (behind Taylor Martinez). Not only that, but he was completely shut out of the voting for SEC Freshman of the Year (though Lattimore did have an excellent year). He has has been essentially ignored despite his record-breaking year for an SEC freshman quarterback and his unbelievable stats in light of a woeful season from the rest of the UGA offense (sans AJ Green and Orson Charles). So, this is a list where he clearly belongs: among those who have quietly, and without much praise or acknowledgement, had phenomenal seasons. Kudos, Matt Hinton.
