You gotta put Boise at 3rd, right?

really pains my ass to say this, but I think Ohio State just might be the best program of all-time just based on sheer consistency. they've won a ton in every decade- it's literally insane how good they've been for so long. they've never really went into the tank and had lost decades and sucked royally like Michigan, ND, Bama, USC, Nebraska, OU, Texas- just about EVERYBODY else has. they have boatloads of hardware as well like Heisman winners, NFL HOF'ers, All-Americans, 1st round picks, and MNC's.

The ranking above is based on some formula, of course, "we" could devise our own and come up with somewhat different results.  The OSU consistency is as noted without parallel.  Alabama's 394 national championships is unmatched.  Notre Dame's helmets are gold, hard to top that.

My own "formula" would date back to 1937 and simply be 20 points for a week ranked #1, and 19 for #2, etc.  You'd get a pretty similar ranking.  An easier one would be just weeks ranked in the top  ten, AP.  I don't credit NCs with being all that special because of the semirandom nature of them.

247Sports ranks the top 100 CFB players heading into 2023... LINK

yeah this list is absolute garbage LOL. 

Quinn Ewers who completed just 58% of his passes and only threw 15 TD passes vs 6 INT's last year is #17 on this list. LMAO. GTFO. Travis Hunter- who has done absolutely nothing at this level- and was just pretty good for a freshman at the FCS level- not a dominant freak show like you'd have expected- is #26 on their list. LMAO. GTFO. Joe Milton- who cannot hit the broadside of a barn and is wildly inaccurate and has barely even played college football- is #54 on their list. LMAO. GTFO. 

Will Johnson ranked at #43 when there isn't a better man to man cover corner in the game- highest rated PFF grade in man coverage of ANY CB in CFB last year- as an 18 year old true frosh. Get outta here. Kalen King at #13 is too high imo. He's a really good CB but yeah, not buying that ranking. Flip Will Johnson and Kalen King's rankings and that looks about right to me. Abdul Carter at #57 is way too low. Olu Fashanu at #5 is too high as well- dude had a terrible run grade by PFF- at 59.1. Elite pass blocker with ridiculous frame and plus athleticism- which is why he's projected as a high NFL draft pick at LT- bc that's ALL the NFL cares about is pass blocking- but his run blocking is subpar- and not sure I'm putting a tackle THAT high who is pretty meh as a run blocker....oh and no Rod Moore or Donovan Edwards of Michigan in the top 100 at all is a joke. Moore is the highest graded returning safety in the P5 according to PFF and Edwards is only a better football player than the guy they have at #8 on this garbage list- his own teammate Blake Corum.

I glanced at that "ranking" briefly and shrugged.  Click bait.

247 has really gone downhill. Rivals has two Wisconsin writers on staff that were with 247 - 247 didn't want to pay them. Badger247 down to one writer. Inexcusable for the number of members, which soon will not include me.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

More click bait, don't bother.  It's an OK list, I guess, but some of these players of course will fail to shine and others will.
