Fans can cast their vote for the Miracle Auto Group Players of the Week award for BlueCross Bowl championship games. Unlike previous weeks, two awards will be given – one for offense and one for defense.
The polls will be open until 6 p.m. Central time on Wednesday, Dec 7. Votes can be cast once every 30 minutes (per IP address, so if multiple devices are on the same Wi-Fi network, only one can vote every 30 minutes). You must vote in both polls for your vote to count.
Make sure to watch the Midstate :48 beginning this Thursday on our YouTube channel to see who we select as the winner. Our team submits their votes, and the fans’ poll winner gets one vote on the show as well. If there’s a tie, the fans’ voting serves as the tiebreaker and the higher-finishing player wins.
