Four nominees for the AT&T All- America Player of the Week award have been announced after the twelfth week of college football action, and now it's up to fans to determine the winner.
University of Iowa running back Shonn Greene, University of Florida wide receiver Percy Harvin, University of Houston quarterback Case Keenum and Oregon State University wide receiver James Rodgers have been selected by ESPN as this week's top candidates, based on the players' outstanding performances over the weekend.
Greene rushed for 211 yards and two touchdowns in the Hawkeyes' 22-17 victory over Purdue.
Harvin rushed for a career-high of 167 yards and two touchdowns in the Gators' 56-6 win over South Carolina.
Keenum threw for 402 yards and a career-high six touchdowns and ran for another score in the Cougars' 70-30 upset over No. 23 Tulsa.
Rodgers had one rushing touchdown and an 86-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the Beavers' 34-21 victory over California.
"This was another great week in college football. These four players really helped to deliver their respective teams some exciting victories," said Tim McGhee, director of corporate sponsorships for AT&T.
"We are excited to present the opportunity, but it is now all in the fans hands to pick the week twelve recipient of the AT&T All-America Player of the Week Award."
In December, four finalists for the AT&T All-America Player of the Year Award will be announced during a one-hour special on ESPN in conjunction with the announcement of the AT&T ESPN All-America Team as selected by the Football Writers Association of America.
Fans will then get a chance to say who the best player in the nation is by voting for the AT&T All-America Player of the Year through the BCS.
The winner will be announced during the BCS National Championship game on FOX.
Additionally, AT&T customers can view video highlights and photos of each week's candidates and track their favorite teams through AT&T's wireless NCAA Football Portal, which is accessible on AT&T handsets by launching AT&T MEdia Net and clicking through to the sports category.
