There is no question Jeremiah Smith is one of the best receivers in college football, but when it comes to the Biletnikoff Award, voters didn't think an 11-touchdown Ohio State sophomore season was enough to give him the award, and instead it went to USC Trojans star Makai Lemon.
Fox Sports' RJ Young, who has released weekly 24-team hypothetical College Football Playoff brackets to go alongside his team-specific power rankings, took issue with the decision.
"Ohio State WR Jeremiah Smith has been robbed off of the Biletnikoff Award twice in two years," Young wrote on 'X.'
Smith himself had his own reaction to missing out on the award again.
In a nutshell, Smith wants this to serve as a reminder that he will not let his college career end without him achieving this goal.
There were several other reactions in support of Smith, including Cleveland.com's Stephen Means.
"So let me get this straight…Jeremiah Smith is the best wide receiver in the Big Ten, but Makai Lemon (also in the Big Ten) is the best wide receiver in the country? Make that make sense lol," Means tweeted.
It's a question that people are still trying to figure it out, but at the end of the day, Smith and Ohio State have a chance to prove the voters wrong if they can in fact when a national title again and do so with Smith playing at his best in the biggest games.
In a matter of a couple weeks, a lot of hard data will be available to either refute or prove the voters were justified in not giving Smith the award.
Only time will tell.
