Top 25 college football players - who are the last 11?
 

The IBM/ESPN/ABC/WHATEVER top 25 players in college history, so far:

No. 12 Earl Campbell
No. 13 Glenn Davis
No. 14 Hugh Green
No. 15 John Elway
No. 16 Tom Harmon
No. 17 Bronco Nagurski
No. 18 Jim Brown
No. 19 Dick Butkus
No. 20 Charley Trippi
No. 21 Archie Griffin
No. 22 George Gipp
No. 23 Johnny Rodgers
No. 24 Reggie Bush
No. 25 Ernie Nevers


Ok so who are the rest of the top 11? Obviously there are going to be a decent chunk of old-timers most of us have barely heard of. But here's my stab.

Herschel Walker
Charles Woodson
Doug Flutie
Roger Staubach
Brian Bosworth
Does Jim Thorpe count?
Red Grange
Paul Hornung
Barry Sanders
Marcus Allen
OJ Simpson
Rocket Ismael?

Ok, I have a feeling I'm missing some gigantic ones here.

Gotta be some more recent guys on there too. Maybe Ron Dayne, or even Bush.

Re: Top 25 college football players - who are the last 11?
 

Could Ricky Williams (gasp) be an option?

Re: Top 25 college football players - who are the last 11?
 

Eddie George maybe

Re: Top 25 college football players - who are the last 11?
 

Thurman Thomas?

No. 24 Reggie Bush

And, don't even try to turn this into a "I meant xxxxxxx bush who played in 1845-1855 with 11 years of eligibility in DII" [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Top 25 college football players - who are the last 11?

DITKA!!!!!!!

Re: Top 25 college football players - who are the last 11?
 

I'm thinking Ron Dayne has to be on there.

Ricky Williams is a maybe.

Re: Top 25 college football players - who are the last 11?
 

Obviously Billy Sims, Lee Roy Selmon, Tony Casillas and OU's Roy Williams!

Re: Top 25 college football players - who are the last 11?

And the other seven are obviously Greg Pruitt, Jim Weatherall, Steve Owens, Tommie Harris, Joe Washington, Carl McAdams and Rick Bryan!

Re: Top 25 college football players - who are the last 11?
 

Yes Rick Bryan w/o a doubt will be in the top 5.

Re: Top 25 college football players - who are the last 11?
 

Someone that should be on this list that won't be:

Anthony Munoz.

Re: Top 25 college football players - who are the last 11?
 

Larry Fitzgerald?

Re: Top 25 college football players - who are the last 11?
 

Bo Jackson obv. He's even on the highlight in the commercial I believe.

Re: Top 25 college football players - who are the last 11?
 

What about Ken Dorsey? Or Even Ty Detmer

[/ QUOTE ]

What a [censored] joke. We are talking about the greatest players of all time, not players who were merely good. Those Miami teams he quarterbacked were so stacked. It's not as if individually Dorsey was that great. Any quarterback that played with Andre Johnson, Kellen Winslow, Jeremy Shockey, Clinton Portis, Najeh Davenport and several first-team all-conference lineman should put up some sick stats.

Right. It's not like Texas has a great defense or anything that year.... oh wait.

Re: Top 25 college football players - who are the last 11?
 

Desmond Howard.

Re: Top 25 college football players - who are the last 11?
 

I think Thorpe is a good guess for a lot of reasons.

Hornung it would be kind of silly-- fitting to be rated higher than the guy who should've got his Heisman though.

Doc Blanchard's name always seems to turn up when Glenn Davis does, but it seems a lot to have two guys from the same team.

VY had a good defense in Texas.
VY has a good defense in Tenessee.
VY is a better defensive football player than he is an offensive player. Although that is sort of like saying infinity +1 > infinity

Yeah, I guess it was mainly Texas' defense that beat USC 41-38.

Texas had a better defense than USC. That's why they won the game. That's why they beat Ohio State. Vince Young is the most overrated person in college sports since Charlie Weis. He would make 3 huge mistakes then do 4 awesome plays to win games. Of course, I doubt this stops ESPN from propping him up to be the God among men that he is around here. He has been fortunate to be the leader on good TEAMS.
