 The actual wonders included are the Great Wall of China, Chichén Itzá in Mexico, Petra in Jordan, Machu Picchu in Peru, the Christ the Redeemer statue in Brazil, the Colosseum in Italy and the Taj Mahal in India.

However, the Grand Canyon is included on a widely accepted list of the seven natural wonders of the world compiled by CNN in 1997, which also includes the northern lights, or aurora, the Great Barrier Reef, the Harbor at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Parícutin in Mexico, Victoria Falls on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia, and Mount Everest.

I've seen green.

One thing I try and do with "all time greats" is just appreciate them for how they played and not worry overly about whether A should be ranked ahead of B.  I personally think that takes the enjoyment out of it and generates arguments for no reason.  
Some people enjoy the arguments.
.
One could argue that Jonathan Taylor is the best RB ever.  
Or that Terrell Buckley was better than Deion at FSU.....except that for whatever reason, a vast majority of people are wholely unable to separate college and pro.

Best ever at Wisconsin, yes.

Ever nationally? Definitely in the discussion.

Pretty tough to not be the best program in your state when there is no other FBS/P5 program.
