    The only way I can even somewhat justify these rankings, is if they're doing them solely off of how they played in college. If they're factoring in the NFL, these are completely out to lunch.

    For the QB rankings, the player listed from a school in the Top 5 that actually had a good career was Palmer, but even he didn't really live up to expectations.

    Oregon at 3 is laughable, and Texas at #4 is even worse. Between the 2 there isn't a single QB that had a good NFL career, although obviously Herbert still has a chance to change that.

    The RB list isn't as bad, except for the fact that Miami is the undisputed #1, and that Georgia should probably be in the Top 3.

    ESPN sucks - they love flash and then more flash. but not the pac-11 (everyone other than the ducks)

    They're usually pretty friendly to USC too, but that aside, you're right.

    If they're going off of NFL production, Dillon alone puts UW over most of the teams on that list. He was the best RB in the league for a number of years in the late 90's/early 2000's

    Why do people always forget Bongterrio?

    Fair. If we're going to list Polk and Sankey, Smith makes the list.

    Well, Dillon would be alone because polk and sankey did nothing. Gaskin hasn't had a chance yet, so jury is out. If you count him, I guess you have to count Freeman for Oregon, since he gets carries in Denver.
