Although this class looks as if it may be awesome, it has a long way to go before it can be compared to the class of 1970 (recruited in 1967).

That class included 3 College Football Hall-of-Famers (Rex Kern, Jim Stillwagon, Jack Tatum), the 1970 Lombardi and Outland trophy winner (Stillwagon), the 1970 AP defensive player of the year (Tatum), 7 All-Americans (Kern, Stillwagon, Tatum, Jan White, John Brockington, Tim Anderson and Mike Sensibaugh), 4 additional first team All-Big 10 players (Phil Strickland, Mark Debevc, Doug Adams, Dave Cheney) and 3 other 3 year starters (Bruce Jankowski, Larry Zelina and Leo Hayden).

These players lost only 2 games in their 3 years (freshmen were not eligible then), went 2-1 versus Michigan and won one national championship.

Let's see where we are in 2011 before we label this group the best ever.

Yeah, but how many stars did those guys have?
