Here are the first 23. I am not sure about #2, but #1 will be revealed during the Rose Bowl.

So any suggestions on who they maybe, I think that is what BB is getting at.

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????)

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

**hawk 5** · 12-18-07, 07:53 AM

Red Grange, Ill.

**imgv94** · 12-18-07, 08:23 AM

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

**BadNina** · 12-18-07, 11:23 AM

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

**clonecat** · 12-18-07, 05:46 PM

I would guess

2 - Paul Hornung
1 - Barry Sanders

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.

Reg Grange definitely...great call Hawk.

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

**hawk 5** · 12-18-07, 10:32 PM

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** · 12-18-07, 10:56 PM

Ryan Leaf maybe?

**imgv94** · 12-18-07, 11:18 PM

**The Nit** · 12-19-07, 01:28 AM

I'll guess OJ Simpson and Davey O'Brien

**BuddyBear** · 12-19-07, 01:45 AM

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

**seaborneq** · 12-19-07, 10:16 AM

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

**abacus30** · 12-19-07, 04:04 PM

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

**imgv94** · 12-19-07, 04:21 PM

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

**onlooker** · 01-01-08, 02:22 PM

#2 Barry Sanders

Just announced during the Florida vs Michigan game.

**gummo** · 01-01-08, 02:26 PM

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