College Football 100
« on: June 19, 2025, 10:50:34 PM »
Copying the NFL's 100 years team....I want to fill in players nearly all of us agree upon and then see if we can fill it out to completion.
This is college only.  COLLEGE ONLY.  Going back 100 years (1925-2024) only.  I'd prefer P4/5 only, but that's wonky before the late 70s.
Copy and add to it if you think a guy is consensus or close to it.

QB (10): Tebow, Frazier, McMahon, Wuerffel, Young, P.Manning,
RB (12): B.Sanders, Dorsett, Allen, H.Walker, Griffin, Blanchard, D.Walker, Dayne, J.Taylor, B.Jackson, Gordon, R.Williams
WR (10): Fitzgerald, Hutson, A.Carter, Crabtree, D.Smith, Howard,
TE (5): K.Jackson, Bowers
T (7): J.Thomas, Ogden, Pace, Fralic, Gallery, McKinnie, Yary
G (7): Shields, Hannah, Steinkuhler, A.Taylor, Andrews, J.Parker
C (4): Rimington, Butkus?
DE (7): Green, White, Suggs, Bruschi,
DT (7): Suh, Donald, L.Selmon, DeVries, Emtman, T.Rocker, Reid
LB (12): Nobis, D.Thomas, W.Anderson Jr, Kuechly, Kiner, Bosworth
CB (7): C.Woodson, Buckley, Bly
S (6): S.Taylor, Reed, Berry, Easley, Blades, R.Williams
K (2): Janikowski, Henery
P (2): Guy, Colquit
RET (2): Ismail, Rodgers
+
HC (10): Saban, Bryant, Wilkinson, Meyer, Bowden, Paterno, Osborne, Switzer, Leahy, Snyder

I was thinking Bowden and Paterno for HC, along with Osborne and Switzer.  

I'd want an accuracy guy at kicker, as Janikowski is the big leg guy.  I feel like any of like 30 RBs make sense.

Paterno and Bowden belong.

Melvin Gordon belongs.

I think Marcus Allen gets forgotten.  He had THE biggest season before Sanders.  

Anyone I put on there that doesn't belong?

Rockne's coaching career is sort of cut in half for this, so I'd put Snyder in.

I liked Bill Snyder a lot, and think he doesn't get nearly enough credit, in a lot of ways.

I don't envy a task of filtering College RBs into a neat list.

Ricky Williams is the best running back in college football history, so I'd probably have him on the list. :)

But yeah it's a crazy task.  It's probably similarly difficult for most positions, we just don't know all of those dudes' names the way we do RBs and QBs.

Johnny Manziel played for the Aggies . He threw for a total of 7,820 yards, 63 touchdowns, and rushed for 2,169 yards and 30 touchdowns during his college career, becoming the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy in 2012.Did a hell of a lot on average teams though i loathe the fact the Browns drafted him like Tebow great collegiate career that didn't transfer to the LEAGUE.

 maybe Reggie Bush at RB and Te Ginn Jr as WR/KR
Katzenmoyer(before injury) could be in the LB discussion
