    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.....

    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.

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

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