The most dog-worthy game? The New Mexico Bowl featuring, guess who, New Mexico vs. Nevada on Dec. 22. I'm guessing the game is being played in New Mexico. On the other end they rank the Allstate BCS National Championship between LSU and Ohio State as number 1. That strikes me as a potential howler based on last year's blowout of OSU by Florida. But at least Les Miles will provide some entertainment. And how much do you want to wager (hypothetically speaking) that Miles still ends up as coach at Michigan? He still hasn't signed his gajillion dollar multi-year contract extortion, err, extension with LSU.

And ESPN is naming the top 25 college players of all time. Working backwards, they have gone from 25 to 3. So, who's missing? Red Grange HB, Illinois, Neon Deion Sanders CB, Florida State, Ron Dayne, RB, Wisconsin, Barry Sanders RB, Oklahoma State, and O.J. Simpson RB, USC.
(Well, they wouldn't dare name Simpson and they shouldn't even though he was a great college player. A civil jury found that he intentionally killed two people. A couple years ago I attended a CLE seminar called Trials of the Century by Todd Winegar and the Simpson criminal trial was one of the cases covered. And you just scratched your head wondering 'how did this guy get off?')
Dayne was a great power runner who smashed over and ran around all comers. He should be on the top 25, but he's not number or two.
My guesses: Deion Sanders #1 and Red Grange #2.
No. 3 Herschel Walker
No. 4 Doak Walker
No. 5 Sammy Baugh
No. 6 Jim Thorpe
No. 7 Tony Dorsett (Contrary to the video, he was Dorsett like 'corset' not door-set in college)
No. 8 Bo Jackson
No. 9 Roger Staubach
No. 10 Vince Young
No. 11 Charles Woodson
No. 12 Earl Campbell
No. 13 Glenn Davis
No. 14 Hugh Green
No. 15 John Elway
No. 16 Tom Harmon
No. 17 Bronko Nagurski
No. 18 Jim Brown
No. 19 Dick Butkus
No. 20 Charley Trippi
No. 21 Archie Griffin
No. 22 George Gipp
No. 23 Johnny Rodgers
No. 24 Reggie Bush
No. 25 Ernie Nevers
