Has anyone kept track of the ranking? It doesn't seem right that only one Buckeye has been mentioned. And to make it worse there are two scUM players.

No. 08 Bo Jackson
No. 09 Roger Staubach
No. 10 Vince Young
No. 11 Charles Woodson
No. 12 Earl Campbell
No. 13 Glenn Davis
No. 14 Hugh Green
No. 15 John Elway
No. 16 Tom Harmon

It's fine with me that only one Ohio State player is likely to be on the list. I mean, we are talking about the 25 best from ALL universities over ALL time.
However, I have a real problem with Archie Griffin at 21 and Charles Freaking Woodson at 11 when it's very questionable whether he should even be on this list, let alone being mentioned as the 11th best college player of all time.
These lists are a joke. Vince Young at #10? He had ONE great college season.

I'd expect to see Orlando Pace somewhere in the top 10. Archie lower than Woodson and Young is ridiculous, but this is ESPN who always skews these lists to more recent individuals and events.

That's where it lost all credibility.

If Buckeye Nation deemed it incredible at #21, the rest of the nation had to do have a similar reaction when Jim Brown only netted #18.

I don't know what Bush, Young, and Woodson are doing on there either. 1 good season doesn't make you one of the best players of all-time.

I don't have a problem with Bush and Young being on there. I mean Young was one of the most dominating college players i've ever seen, and IMO, I think that Bush should be higher up. In college, atleast, he was flat out insane.
Archie, and Jim Brown definitely should be Top 10 without question, though.
Who gets #1 now?
