POC, "If you clicked the link in the OP, the two backs were Johnny Jefferson of Baylor (299 yards, 3 TD) and Leonard Fournette of LSU (212 yards, 4 TD). Jefferson and Fournette had phenomenal games rushing. McCaffrey had a good game rushing, but also had a good game receiving and a great game returning. All told, he had a tremendous game, but he was not nearly as good rushing as the other two -- which is the key duty of a RB."
I respectfully disagree. Catching the ball out of the backkfield is equally as important and running between the tackles. McCaffrey had 50 yards more than Fournette. My complaint is exactly that he is being snubbed. Yes, best AP player, but also one of the two best running backs. Unless you're in favor or participation trophies you have to award the best player, however positions that might be.
So your issue is not that he was recognized as an AP player as opposed to an RB, but that he should have been recognized as both?
