Kansas University quarterback Todd Reesing is one of 15 semifinalists for the Davey O'Brien Award, given annually to the nation's top quarterback.

Reesing has helped lead Kansas to an 8-0 start by throwing for 1,985 yards with 17 touchdowns and just four interceptions.

The 15-man list will be narrowed down to three finalists on Nov. 18, and fan input counts for 5 percent of the total vote. KU fans can vote for Reesing once a day at DaveyOBrien.com.

The O'Brien winner will be announced on Dec. 6.

Seattlehawk, you're not the only one my friend. Every week I always get the "Do you have a mancrush on Reesing?" And every week the answer is always "YES!"

I love Reesing (and I voted for him), but if Colt Brennan doesn't win that award, there's something very wrong.

Brennan is hands-down the best quarterback in college football. (Maybe EVER. There, I said it!)

Just voted for Reesing five times on my five different emails. And if I can, tomorrow I'll vote for him five more times.

Brennan is a system QB lighting up an entire season's worth of cupcakes. Neither he nor Hawaii deserve much of anything yet
