I disagree with the selection for #1. I'm too young to have seen Anthony Carter, but Larry Fitzgerald was one of the best receivers in college I have ever seen.

#31 should absolutely be this guy--Shane Conlan. The best player and the glue that held together the 86 National Champs.

Keith Jackson over Jerry Rice. Interesting.

Boy, this is a tough way to pick players. Can't argue against Tony Dorsett, but to have to relegate Marcus Allen to honorable mention is tough. Anthony Davis was a great back, but I'd argue Allen was better. Davis makes the list because he wore a different number at USC. I know it's all for fun, but man. xeyebrowx xpeacex

It's tough to argue with Jim Brown or Barry Sanders.

Barry Sanders numbers will never be repeated. I know Omar Cuff got to his TD record this year, but nobody will ever get close to breaking the 2600 yards in 11 games. 235+ a game is unfathomable.

Almost happened this year!

agreed, Allen was better. I didn't see him on the list, but what number did the Juice wear at USC?

Yea, but it took him 13 games to get close...

I was glad he didn't break the record just for that fact.
