The 25 best: USC QB Barkley and his receivers dominate list - NCAA Football - Sporting News

3 Trojans.

1 Domer:

24. LB Manti Te’o, Sr., Notre Dame
2011: 128 tackles, 13.5 TFL, 5 sacks.

The breakdown: A passionate, aggressive force. He wasn’t mentally ready as a freshman to lead the ND defense, but was pushed into it. He’s now the unquestioned team leader.

NFL scout says: “He was too caught up in making the big hit early on, and really has grasped the concepts of the position the last year and a half. Potentially a top 10-15 pick.”

Pretty silly list. Seven quarterbacks? No safeties, tight ends, or offensive linemen? Yeah, okay.

Still, USC's aerial attack could be ridiculous. Good thing Notre Dame returns a ton of DB's to counter this.

Manti Te'o at 24? That's it? Weak...

What about Zack Martin? Braxston Cave? Tyler Eifert? Somehow Marquise Lee makes it to 2 on this list and Martin, Cave and Eifert don't touch it?

The homers are gonna come out in full force for this thread!! I think Teo being the only Domer there is fair, maybe and I mean maaaybe Eifert but haveing one player when its the 25 best in ALL of college really isnt to bad. Not saying all the other ones desearve to be there but ND guy wise...seems ok with me.

Marquis Lee the #2 player in the nation? Yeah.......... I'd bet my life if there was a draft right now of college players Marquis Lee would NOT be the #2 guy taken.

To be fair, they weren't measuring draft stock.

But I don't even think Blackmon was #2 last year, and he was twice the receiver Lee is.

Yeah stopped reading after #2. I think Lee is an absolute stud but no way he is the number 2 player in the country. Mathieu??

Oh man, what a poor list. I understand different people have different opinions, but that's just some bullshit.
