Barry Sanders (or even LT is he hadn't played for TCU) could make it. Then again, neither of those two had a college career on par with Herschel Walker (or even Doak Walker for that matter). Surprising that Reggie Bush made the list and not Ricky Williams, but I suppose the off-field stuff got in the way for Rick (Oh my god, he smoked what????)

[BuddyBear]

It's a pretty strong bet that the top 2 come from either Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Army, or Yale.....

[hawk 5]

Red Grange, Ill.

What a joke!!! No O.J Simpson or Jim Plunkett????

[BadNina]

I bet one of the last two is a Manning. Probably Archie.

[clonecat]

I would guess

2 - Paul Hornung
1 - Barry Sanders

[harsh506]

hershall should be 1, but we will save that for another time.

but i dont like the Red call, he only played 20 games

Different era, Different # of games a year.

[BuddyBear]

Reg Grange definitely...great call Hawk.

That leaves one more....let's see who can figure it out!

[hawk 5]

I don't think Plunkett deserves to be on this list, but OJ does. I can't image him being 1st or 2nd but he should have been on the list.

[BuddyBear]

Ryan Leaf maybe?

[imgv94]

[The Nit]

I'll guess OJ Simpson and Davey O'Brien

[BuddyBear]

Just found out it's going to be #2 Barry Sanders and #1 Red Grainge......

[seaborneq]

Ricky Williams number 2 and Barry Sanders number 1. I would not have had a problem with Dorsett being number 1.

[abacus30]

Herschel Walker was the stud of studs (in college) since I've been alive.

[imgv94]

What a joke.. Any List that leaves out O.J Simpson out of the top 25 is a joke.

[onlòóker]

#2 Barry Sanders

Just announced during the Florida vs Michigan game.

[gummo]

I'd like to see where Vince Young falls on that list 5 years from now.
