09:54 AM ET 10.30 | The Maxwell Award has cut down its list of 78 players to announce this year's semifinalists for the award. Out of the semifinalists, only one player - USC quarterback Matt Barkley - was nominated for the award last season. The 2011 Maxwell Award went to Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck. This year, Heisman Trophy favorite Collin Klein leads the list of 16 semifinalists and was one of two Big 12 players and seven quarterbacks to make the cut. The Pac-12 had the most semifinalists with five, while the SEC ranked second with four. A total of 13 offensive players made the list of semifinalists and just two defensive players got the honors. Check out the full list of semifinalists on FanSided.com.
