Oh yeah, I voted yes just because I'm a homer and didn't want this poll to get too lopsided.

Based on college only my top 5 would be:
1. USC
2. Auburn
3. OSU
4. Texas
5. Georgia
It's really hard to leave off Oklahoma State though considering they produced Barry Sanders and Thurman Thomas. Miami is probably 6th and Nebraska 7th. Wisconsin should also be mentioned in there somewhere. |

I concur, but I also put Miami ahead of UGA. Hey, and EngineerHorn, Emmitt Smith is the ONLY good NFL player to come out of UF, so don't give him to Miami 
1. USC
2. Texas
3. OSU
4. Auburn
5. Miami
My other votes for different position U's are:
Ohio State: LB U.
Nebraska: Scrambler QB U.
FSU: WR U.
Notre Dame: Over rated, over hyped U. |

Are we basing this off of college? FSU WR-U?
I think Michigan is WR U and it's a longshot really. Anthony Carter (3-time All-American), Desmond Howard (Heisman winner, All-American, #4 pick overall in an NFL Draft), Derrick Alexander (All-American, 1st rounder), Amani Toomer (1st team All-B10), Tai Streets (1st team All-B10), David Terrell (All-American, #8 pick overall in an NFL Draft), Marquise Walker (All-American), Braylon Edwards (All-American, #3 pick overall in an NFL Draft), and just last year Jason Avant (1st team All-B10).
Seems like every 5-10 years or less Michigan has had a great receiver. Carter, Howard, Terrell, and Edwards were truly great. The others weren't that bad, but those four, while in college were the shizznit- I mean every one of those four guys dominated on another and for the most part could just could not be stopped.

That is probably my fault, I just refuse to admit Michigan is good at anything but having the state look geographically like a hand. |

We've had a few great ones and many very good ones, but I can't say that Ohio State has produced more great RBs than any other school. I think I might have to go with USC on that note.
