QB Quincy Greisen won the Heisman. And another Fresno State guy won the Defensive Player of the Year. Hmm, does strength of schedule or school prestige factor into these awards at all?
Here are the national and conference awards.
1st Team All-Americans:

K: Eric Ellis (UCLA) - 31-36 FG, 45-45 XP, 51 long
DT: Jake Johnson (ORE) - 54 tackles, 10 sacks, 6 stuffs, 0 INT
CB: Howard Steussie (CAL) - 74 tackles, 0 sacks, 14 passes defended, 6 INT
2nd Team All-Americans:
WR: Woodley Martin (UCLA) - 62 receptions, 1,060 yards, 12 TDs
K: Michael Anderson (USC) - 26-36 FG, 55-58 XP, 53 long

All Pac-10 1st Team:
QB: Rattay
WR: Martin
TE: Fortunato
K: Ellis
DE: Dickerson
DT: Roger Parsons: 25 tackles, 10 sacks, 2 stuffs, 1 INT
All Pac-10 2nd Team:

All Pac-10 3rd Team:
HB: Nicolas Morris: 1,489 yards, 4.57 ypc, 12 TDs
OG: John Perryman: 14 rblk, 7 pancakes, 2 sacks allowed
DE: Doug Grant: 22 tackles, 8 sacks, 3 stuffs, 0 INT
CB: Elijah McCallister: 35 tackles, 0 sacks, 13 passes defended, 3 INT
All in all, I feel that Martin got jobbed by Lucas for 1st Team All-American honors. If he plays even one of the games where he was hurt it is a no-brainer.
