We’re handling our CFB Player of the Week selections a little differently this year with the responsibility for making the selections falling squarely on my shoulders.
I do my best to be objective each week, basing my picks on comparative performances and stats, but if you think I’m missing something, or maybe some bias has slipped in, feel free to let me know on Twitter.
These first few weeks are always a mixed bag, with teams playing a wide range of opponents, from Top 10 teams to perennial cupcakes.
Comparisons will be more clear-cut once conference play begins.
Here are my Week Two picks for SuperWest Players of the Week for Offense, Defense, and Special Teams as well as Offensive and Defensive Freshmen.
Offensive Player of the Week: Jordan Addison, WR, USC

Defensive Player of the Week: Kitan Oladapo, DB, Oregon State

Offensive Freshman of the Week: Chase Roberts, WR, BYU

Chase Roberts decided it was his day to shine. Roberts finished the contest with eight catches, 122 yards, and one touchdown.
Defensive Freshman of the Week: Lander Barton, LB, Utah

Special Teams: Renard Bell, WSU

Honorable Mention
Offensive: Caleb Williams, QB, USC
Defensive: Tuli Tuipulotu, DL, USC
Special Teams: Jordyn Byrd, San Diego State
