Is Saban over Rockne crazy?  

Reed or Sean Taylor in for Easley?  
I think Eric Berry at Tennessee might be the best college safety I ever saw play.

Replacing who?
Any of the RBs.  He's #1 in my opinion

I think it's too broad, in terms of spanning eras.

I'd replace Shields at guard with Dean Stienkuhler 
I like Suh.
I don't buy Kinnick at corner, but didn't see him play.

Maybe pre and post WWII teams?  Or further back, like 1970 or so?
I like that idea.

I would substitute WR/KR/CB Woodson for QB/RB/KR/CB Nile Kinnick.  To this day Kinnick still holds the Iowa career record for defensive interceptions.
You forgot, Punter. I am not sure if KR is Kicker or Kick Returner. He was the last of the great drop kickers, even though the shape of the ball changed to the modern ball at the start of his college career. He drop-kicked an extra point to defeat ND, when ND missed its extra point in 1939. As a kid he drop-kicked the old footballs against a barn for practice. Kinnick wasn't just All American; he was all everything.

Youngster. I think he was pretty good. Iowa corners such as Desmond King, have tied the single season record of 8, but helped preserve Kinnick's single season interception record of eight. However Kinnick did it in 9-games. I think King had 13-games.
Devon Mitchell had 18 interceptions in 4-years, whereas Kinnick had 18 interceptions in 3-years with many fewer games, and many fewer passing plays.

And a much MUCH higher passing INT rate overall.
Those gentlemen were lobbing it up for grabs, lol.

Thanks for the compliment.

I wholeheartedly agree Nile was pretty good. Just questioning one of the all-time greats.
I also don't think INTs are the best measure of a corner, but a measure none the less.
Perhaps the gentlemen listed below should get consideration??

Most interceptions, career
29 – Al Brosky, Illinois, 1950–52 (appears Al played 3 seasons)

Most interceptions, season
14 – Al Worley, Washington, 1968

Jay Berwanger of the University of Chicago won the first Heisman.

In 1935.

Could he do that today?

Not a chance.
