Oh, I agree. My list of "Greatest" college players would look nothing like this current list. Personally, I think Ray was better than Dan Morgan, but his accolades, accomplishments, stats, aren't at good. ****, I don't actually think Archie Griffin is better than Eric ****erson or Wills McGahee...

No doubt, the Boz had excellent marketing, which might have helped him win some of his awards. It's not a secret that the powers that be that give out awards love Oklahoma. Never have we seen a greater robbery (besides the 2002 NC) than the 2003 end of year awards when Derrick Strait from...

Obviously, he is the GOAT linebacker for the pros, but I also think Ray Lewis is one of the best linebackers of all time for the college level. I just don't think he had the college career of other linebackers, so he's not on my list according to the requirements. I would still take him over...

I think Ed Reed and Kenny Easley had better college careers. However, I think Sean Taylor was more gifted and a better player than both of them.

I agree with that. Like you said, the difference in eras makes it not easily comparable. I imagine most of us never saw Hendricks or Butkus play in college, and we don't get to see any of their highlights. So, it's a little easier to discard them from our list since we don't have that connection...

You make a strong case. Hendricks is vastly underrated and should be on this list. I think he might be overlooked, even by Miami fans, due to the era in which he played. This list is pretty flawed at its origins. Way too many offensive players and not enough defensive players. Either way, it's...

He was a terrible person and terrible teammate, but he is one of the best college LB to ever play at that level. I'm not saying he's the GOAT, but he is in the conversation. Who is your GOAT college LB?

Bosworth aint no joke. I understand the hate for him. I hated his guts too when I was younger. I think people are sleeping on him because of his short and unsuccessful NFL career. But, as a college player, he was the man.

Thanks. I think most of us would universally agree that a handful of players should be on this list. Guys like Archie Griffin, Herschel Walker, Ed Reed, Orlando Pace, Tim Tebow. The rest of the list is pretty subjective. There are so many choices and options. Are any of us giving they players...

That's why I didn't list Mckinnie as one of the greatest OL of all time. Didn't think JUCO transfers belong on this list and there were several other o-lineman with better college careers. Although, one could make the case that his 2001 campaign was one of the best ever for an o-lineman.

Suh had one really good year (junior) and one absolutely insane year (senior). He really didn't make much of an impact until his junior year. He did have a bad injury as a freshman that set him back a good bit. Jerome was really good the minute he stepped on campus. I have no problem putting...

This is my list without my orange and green glasses on. No players on here that only had one phenomenal year, although there are a few that only played 2 years. I tried to look at players that were good pretty much immediately when they arrived on campus. If they were not dominant as a freshman...

Agree. Need two lists. I love Barry Sanders, but he shouldn't be on this list. Basically, played one season, although it ended up being the most insane performance for a season of all time.

I hate the Boz, but he probably deserves to be on this list as far as his accolades and statistics. His steroid scandal, well that is a separate issue and a valid reason why he shouldn't be included on this list. He was an absolute beast and looked like a man among boys in some of those...
