Roy Williams, Oklahoma

Antwaan Randle El, Indiana

and I'd give the 3rd vote to LaVar Arrington, Penn State

over Reggie Bush, because as far as I know, LaVar didn't take $$$

I'd put Corey Moore on my ballot.  More career sacks and TFL than Freeney, but didn't have much of an NFL career.  This being the COLLEGE football HOF, Moore should get in, ahead of Freeney (but won't).
.
Corey Moore, DE, Virginia Tech
Eric Berry, S, Tennessee
Mark Messner, DT, Michigan

I thought the link was enough.

The coaches are important, but not sexy

Rashaan Salaam and Peter Warrick were tough on the Blackshirts

luckily didn't face Reggie

I wasn't overly impressed by any of the coaches, but Pinkel did get Mizzou to a #1 ranking.

The rules about the coaches are fairly odd. You need to win 60 percent on your games and coach 10 years. 

So Hayden Fry isn’t eligible. Barry Alvarez was a couple games from not being eligible. Erk Russell and his three titles isn’t eligible.

Champ Bailey.   With all due respect to Charles Woodson, Bailey was every bit as good in college as Woodson.   

Michael Crabtree, abused people as a Fr. And Soph.  I think he'll be penalized for being in Leach off.  

Warrick Dunn, maybe best ACC rb ever.

Bailey and Dunn were my next two out.

Crabtree was great, but he's like the Tim Couch of WRs
