1. Reggie Bush
2. Vince Young
3. Tim Tebow
4. Troy Smith
5. Calvin Johnson

I will admit I was half-tempted to put MoC in this list, but the sickness in my stomach was too much.

Pretty good list. I must say I'm surprised that it didn't consist of 5 players from Ohio State.

Peterson dominated in college but was always hurt or would be higher. I base these on college only.

1. Vince Young
2. Reggie Bush
3. Mcfadden
4. Tebow
5. Larry Fitz

Highest buckeyes are Aj Hawk top 10 and Lil Animal top 20

Colt McCoy is close b/c of his wins

1. Reggie bush-the dude was a human highlight reel. I'll never forgot the Fresno game
2. Tim tebow- he was unreal through out his career
3. Vince young- he was fun to watch just over shadowed that year because of bush
4. Ap- although he was hurt a lot he dominated
5. Colt McCoy- most wins in NCAA history. Love colts passion for the game.

1. Golden Tate (personal bias because of his clown personality off the field)
2. Jimmy Clausen (still argue that he is the most accurate qb in ND history)
3. Michael Floyd (The consistent jump ball threat that ND lacked from 95-05)
4. Courtney Watson (Guy was a ball hawk and helped the ND defense outscore other teams for the first 8 games of 02)
5. Arnaz Battle (Would've been fun to see what this guy at QB had he not broke his wrist and moved to WR)

I like your list, but I would substitute Colt McCoy with Fitzgerald. Another name I have knocking on the door is Matt Leinhart (crappy Pro but great college career).

You showed bias with all 5 not just one lol. Depending on how he does Sr year Floyd is the only one who could even sniff top 10 of the past decade, and thats a stretch

Brian Kelly thinks Mardy Gilydard is > than Michael Floyd.

I agree with him.

None of these players are in the top 20 collegiate players of the past decade.


1. Vince Young (Texas)- He singlehandedly won the Rose Bowl in 2005 (06) and won the national title. I am in the group that thinks he should have won the Heisman over Bush. Bush had way more of a supporting cast than Young. Hell, Bush had the defending Heisman trophy winner on his team to help him out.

2. Tim Tebow (Florida)- I don't care if Tebow likes boys, the guy could win games. A Heisman and 2 national title rings puts you on this list.

3. Ndamokong Suh (Nebraska)- Absolute beast. His performance in the Big 12 title game was nothing short of amazing. Guy is literally an animal.

4. Sean Taylor (Miami, FL)- I think some forget how great Taylor was since it was at the beginning of the decade.

5. Larry Fitzgerald (Pitt)- Fitz was one of the best WR I have seen play in college and that was with avg. QB's throwing to him.
