Two B1G coaches have been tabbed as semifinalists for the Munger Collegiate Coach of the Year Award.

A list of 16 semifinalists was released on Thursday, which included the names of two head coaches from the B1G, Wisconsin’s Paul Chryst and Michigan State’s Paul Chryst. The full list of 16 coaches can be seen below.

Chryst currently has the Badgers at 10-0 on the season and 7-0 in the B1G. Wisconsin has already locked up another B1G West title and will make a second-straight trip to Indianapolis for the conference title game on Dec. 2.

Michigan State has completely turned around from last year’s atrocious 3-9 season under Dantonio. The Spartans have knocked off Michigan, Penn State and Iowa this season and sit at 7-3 on the year. With Maryland and Rutgers remaining, Michigan State has a great chance to finish 9-3.

Voting for the 16 semifinalists begins on Friday, N0v. 17 and will end on Monday, Dec. 11.
