Most Exciting...
1. Jacquizz Rodgers, Oregon State
2. LaMichael James, Oregon
3. Jake Locker, Washington
4. DeMarco Murray, Oklahoma
5. Noel Devine, West Virginia
Mine
1. Noel Devine, West Virginia
2. Jacquizz Rodgers, Oregon State
3. LaMichael James, Oregon
4. Terrel Pryor
5. DeMarco Murray, Oklahoma
Best RBs
1. Ryan Williams, Virginia Tech
2. Mark Ingram, Alabama
3. DeMarco Murray, Oklahoma
4. LaMichael James, Oregon
5. Evan Royster, Penn State
Hard to argue that one, but I think Jacuizz Rodgers deserves to be on that list. I am not as big of a Murray fan as everyone else seems to be.
Best WR
1. A.J. Green, Georgia
2. Ryan Broyles, Oklahoma
3. Jon Baldwin, Pitt
4. DeAndre Brown, Southern Miss
5. James Rodgers, Oregon State
Posey and Micheal Floyd should be on this list somewhere. I am not impressed by James Rodgers vs big time opponents.
OFF AND RUNNING: READY TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL
1. Jeff Demps, Florida
2. Anthony Allen, Georgia Tech
3. Shane Vereen, California
4. Ron Johnson, USC
5. Brandon Bolden, Ole Miss
Ron Johnson??? really? I would add Devine and Trent Richardson or Rainy from florida.
RODNEY DANGERFIELDS: PLAYERS WHO DON'T GET ENOUGH RESPECT
1. Montel Harris, Boston College
2. Chris Polk, Washington
3. Ryan Whalen, Stanford
4. Jordan Todman, Connecticut
5. Stephen Paea, Oregon State
Eh can't argue with those picks I guess.
FRESH APPROACH: TOP TRUE FRESHMEN
1. Dillon Baxter, USC
2. Michael Dyer, Auburn
3. Marcus Lattimore, South Carolina
4. Kenny Stills, Oklahoma
5. Lamarcus Joyner, Florida State
Pretty pointless list. Lattimore or Dyer will be the best in the end because they will impact their school the most.
QUARTERBACKS: POCKET PRESENCE
1. Andrew Luck, Stanford
2. Kellen Moore, Boise State
3. Christian Ponder, Florida State
4. Ryan Mallett, Arkansas
5. Jacory Harris, Miami
Ponder is always on the run at FSU. Ryan Mallet should be number 1. I would throw in Wisconsin's QB Tolzien into this mix.
QUARTERBACKS: DUAL-THREAT
1. Jake Locker, Washington
2. Terrelle Pryor, Ohio State
3. Jerrod Johnson, Texas A&M
4. Robert Griffin III, Baylor
5. B.J. Daniels, South Florida
Didn't know locker was that big a threat to run... who knew 388 yards rushing in a year made u a dual threat? He just has good scrambling abilities. Pryor had 779.
MOST EXPLOSIVE PLAYERS
1. DeMarco Murray, Oklahoma
2. Noel Devine, West Virginia
3. Titus Young, Boise State
4. Jeremiah Masoli, Ole Miss
5. Shane Vereen, Cal
A lot of love for Murray. Didn't we already have this category???
REMEMBER ME: BEAT THE BANDWAGON
1. Greg Reid, Florida State
2. Cameron Newton, Auburn
3. Kenjon Barner, Oregon
4. Will Hill, Florida
5. Garrett Gilbert, Texas
Eh another pointless list.
ALL TOGETHER NOW: BEST POSITION UNIT
1. North Carolina LBs
2. Alabama backfield
3. Iowa DL
4. Arkansas WRs
5. Nebraska secondary
Akansas WRs??? I thought Texas's secondary was supposed to be one of the best. I would add Wisconsin's OL to this list.
DRESS FOR SUCCESS: LOOKS THE PART
1. DeAndre McDaniel, Clemson - How can you look good in this clown suit?
2. Patrick Peterson, LSU
3. Kyle Rudolph, Notre Dame
4. Ryan Williams, Virginia Tech
5. Quan Sturdivant, North Carolina
All the rest I can't argue with. I would put Rudolph at #1, he just looks like a football player.
ALL THE MARBLES: QB WITH THE GAME ON THE LINE
1. Kellen Moore, Boise State
2. Ryan Mallett, Arkansas
3. Andrew Luck, Stanford
4. Jerrod Johnson, Texas A&M
5. Jacory Harris, Miami
I would not want Johnson or Harris if the game was on the line. Give me Locker or the Alabama QB. McElroy?
SHOW ME SOME RESPECT: UNDERRATED COACHES
1. Mike Riley, Oregon State
2. Randy Edsall, Connecticut
3. Pat Fitzgerald, Northwestern
4. Houston Nutt, Ole Miss
5. Paul Johnson, Georgia Tech
Houston Nutt? i dunno about that one.
TAPE 'EM UP: ANKLE-BREAKERS
1. LaMichael James, Oregon
2. Jacquizz Rodgers, Oregon State
3. Jeremy Kerley, TCU
4. Dion Lewis, Pittsburgh
5. Roddy Jones, Georgia Tech
Didn't we have this category already? Oh yeah Dion Lewis deserves to be on some of the previous lists... especially in place for murray.
HITS KEEP COMING: BIGGEST HITTERS
1. Ronnell Lewis, Oklahoma
2. Jay Valai, Wisconsin
3. Manti Te'o, Notre Dame
4. Dont'a Hightower, Alabama
5. Jeron Johnson, Boise State
My OSU bias says Zach Boren, Jermeal Hines or Ross Homan should be somewhere on this list.
NOSE FOR THE BALL: MOST INSTINCTIVE PLAYER
1. Scott Lutrus, Connecticut
2. Ross Homan, Ohio State
3. DeJon Gomes, Nebraska
4. Luke Kuechly, Boston College
5. Greg Jones, Michigan State
eh another stupid category.
NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN: COMEBACK PLAYER
1. Robert Griffin III, Baylor
2. Dont'a Hightower, Alabama
3. Mark Herzlich, Boston College
4. Darren Evans, Virginia Tech
5. Jewel Hampton, Iowa
Eh, can't argue here...
That is enough for me for now...
Herbstreit's college predictions and all everthing teams. Interesting picks including Ohio State over Oklahoma in the NC game.
Love Herbie, but a lot of what he says he says is very similiar to what Phil Steele thinks.
