Kirk Herbstreit is one of the most recognizable faces in football. The analyst is on College GameDay and Thursday Night Football and also calls games on Saturday nights for ABC.
Still, Herbstreit always finds time to reveal lists of the most impressive players, coaches, and teams from each week of college football. After Week 11, Herbstreit’s player list includes several SEC players, 1 from the B1G, and 2 from the ACC.
