Annually handed out to the best offensive line in college football, the Joe Moore Award is a highly sought-after honor, and being included on its watch list is the first step towards earning it.
The Foundation for Teamwork revealed the selected teams live during an episode of “The Joe Moore Award Show” on the award’s YouTube channel, with 25 units from across the country being included.
And from the SEC, 6 programs were featured on the list, with the group including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee.

All of those squads currently own winning records this season, and their big fellas up front are primary reasons why. In fact, every team included on the Joe Moore Award’s Midseason Watch list is above .500 on the season with the exception of West Virginia.
The SEC hasn’t won the Joe Moore Award since Alabama claimed it in 2020, with the Big Ten earning it four times and Army given it in 2024 since. The Tide did also win the inaugural Joe Moore Award in 2015, while LSU and Oklahoma are the only other current SEC teams to secure it.
Normally imposing units such as Iowa, Army, Miami, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Utah are also included among the 25 teams.
