Holy crap, someone likes a Michigan State player?!?!?! I don't care that he led the team in touchdowns three weeks into the season last year. Where's my calendar at?

 

[The Crimson King]

No Ameer Abdullah???

 

[SteelersPride]

nope no ameer

 

[t0nyintransit]

Taysom Hill? Haha no.

 

[Boise4Life]

Taysom Hill? Haha no.

Taysom Hill is a baller, one hell of an athlete. Ask Texas if they think he can play. As a Boise fan you should give him some love. Afterall he is an Idaho kid.

Seems strange that they have Oklahoma ranked preseason #1 without a top 25 player on the team.

Not sure there is one guy there you would claim on the list. Lots of solid, but not sure there is 1 guy you expect to dominate.

The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

That is the least star power list I have seen in years.


There is not one player that stands out like a superstar.


We had been spoiled for a few years.


Collectively they are good...but nothing that seems great.

Baylor representin'

The whole QB, WR thing. Nominated by association. Very subjective in that respect.

QB makes the WR's. Wr's make the QB.

Andrus Peat chose Stanford over Nebraska. I about fainted in disbelief.

Can ask me. I think he's pretty damn good college player. I watched him in some other games as well, and he racked up a pretty good total of yards.

And shit, got to face him again this year. Hopefully, Old Charlie will teach our boys not to let him break containment, over and over and over.

That quote was to no OU plauer being on the list, not the list in general. RIF

I agree but I'm not the one ranking OU ahead of everyone else.

It's odd to see someone rank OU preseason #1 without thinking Knight will have a huge year.

Ameer Abdullah is the best back in the NCAA right now. Period.

He really might be the best player in CFB and I'm not kidding. Seriously he is potentially the best in the country. Let's revisit this thread when he wins the Heisman.
