I am surprised Billy Sims isn't on the list.

No OJ Simpson?

Charles Woodson at 11 seems high.

I am wondering the same thing, will they dare put OJ up at the top?
You would think not, as politically correct as everything has to be anymore...they could have snuck him in earlier, I can't see them giving him #1, should be interesting.

I'll take Earl Campbell as the other one. OJ was the all time leading pts leader in the voting for the Heisman

Close Red Grange is #1 and Barry Sanders is #2 its already been leaked out according to a spoiler but sometimes spoilers are wrong.
-----------------------

Red Grange is No. 1 and Barry Sanders is No. 2. Somebody at ABC goofed and let the cats out of the bag. But once Herschel Walker was announced at No. 3, you pretty much already knew who was in the top two slots. Unless, of course, they went with O.J. (by far their biggest headache), which you knew was not going happen.

That's gonna make it hard for him to be in the top 2, isn't it. :+clueless

Even Vince Young seems high, and someday 25 years from now when they make a new top 25 he won't even be in it.

Even though he killed 2 people if you only go by what happen on the football field OJ belongs in the top 10.

wrigs - he was found innocent in his criminal trial so there is REASONABLE DOUBT whether he killed them or not!

Wow. Looks like ID finds the death of two innocent people to be hilarious from the looks of it's post.

OJ should be on the list, but I remember Sanders at Ok St he was incredible. Maybe Devil can help with Red Grange recollections.

I just looked up Grange and his stats were unreal in some games. I can see where he'd be 1 or 2.

Re: So who are the TOP TWO?

This is a tough question. Gotta be Vnce Young. He took the worst game coach in the world (Mack Brown) and saved him. They could not win the big one at all until he got there. He single handlily beat OhioState and USC that year and won a national Championship. I would think he is one. But the spoiler above says no.

I am stunned you would put Young at #1 or #2....doesn't sound like something you'd say.

Glad it is not SImpson. Sorry the double murderer is not a candidate and lets leave it at that.

Barry Sanders was great but his team did not win. They did not even win their conference. They never beat Nebraska or Oklahoma. Winning is what this is all about. I say Vince Young is better than Sanders for that reason. Of course I maybe forget the numbers of Sanders. It was a while ago.
