Quarterback
Michael Vick, Virginia Tech: 1,310
Tom Brady, Michigan: 195
Chris Weinke, FSU: 183
Drew Brees, Purdue: 161
Michael Vick is awesome and is the best quarterback in a long time.
Kyle Rapinchuk, Brandon, Mo.

Ron Dayne, Wisconsin: 1,687
Shaun Alexander, Alabama: 1,632
Cedrick Cobbs, Arkansas: 234
Cortlen Johnson, Colorado: 186
Doug Champan, Marshall: 172
Shaun Alexander has great patience, great cut backs and breakout speed. Ron Dayne, the same abilities but assured short yardage unlike other RBs.
Ramanath Subramanyam, Ann Arbor, Mich.
Wide Receivers
Peter Warrick, FSU: 1,769
Plaxico Burress, Michigan St.: 1,442
David Terrell, Michigan: 547
Travis Taylor, Florida: 242
Warrick is one of the best WRs in college history in my opinion.
Nick Meyrer, Westland, Mich.

Plaxico Burress is one of my selections because he comes from the toughest conference in all the land: The BIG 10.
Tony Young, Kokomo, Ind.
Offensive Line
Dominic Raiola, Nebraska: 1,443
Chris McIntosh, Wisconsin: 1,433
Jason Whitaker, FSU: 1,378
Dave Costa, Wisconsin: 1,327
Keith Short, Virginia Tech: 1,068
Marques Sullivan, Illinois: 727
Jonas Jennings, Georgia: 717
My lineman of Costa, McIntosh, Raiola, Whitaker and Short are the class of lineman in the NCAA; Raiola has a chance to be special.
Dustin Bonvie, New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, Canada
Tight End
Daniel Franks, Miami: 880
Randy McMichael, Georgia: 425
Tim Stratton, Purdue: 407
I picked Franks for tight end because he is the best in the nation at what he does, receiving and blocking.
Julio Vanattia, Silver Springs, Fla.
Kicker
Sebastian Janikowski, FSU: 1,445
Hap Hines, Georgia: 236
Les Blinkey, Mississippi: 194
Janikowski could kick a goal from Poland and make it with 10 yards to spare.
Ozzie Walker, Atlanta, Ga.
Kick Returner
Peter Warrick, FSU: 846
Freddie Milons, Alabama: 352
Bobby Newcombe, Nebraska: 345
Peter Warrick and any group of good athletes as a supporting cast equates to a win.
Rick Krueger, Cranberry Township, Penn.

Linebackers
LaVar Arrington, Penn St.: 1,900
Tommy Polley, FSU: 1,080
Mark Simoneau, Kansas State: 988
Nate Webster, Miami: 910
Jashon Sykes, Colorado: 554
LaVar Arrington was the best LB in the NCAA this season and should make a big impact on the NFL.
Ryan Banze, Ringgold, Ga.


Arrington and Simoneau were great for PSU and KSU. LaVar couldn't be stopped. Polley was injured in the second half, but his punt block was the game in a nutshell.
Shannon Joyner, Atlanta, Ga.
Defensive Line
Courtney Brown, Penn State: 1748
Corey Simon, FSU: 1676
John Engleberger, Virginia Tech: 1190
Adalius Thomas, Southern Miss., 859 (tie)
Matt Sweeney, Miami: 859 (tie)
DJ Cooper, Arkansas: 662
Courtney Brown and Corey Simon anchor a terrific defensive line.
Tom Liptak, North Huntingdon, Penn.


Engleberger is the unsung hero of the VT defense.
Art Tellez, El Paso, Texas


Sweeney was a big part of Miami's bowl success.
Graham Terry, Logan, Utah


I picked Adalius Thomas because Southern Miss played terrible offense and the defense kept them in it.
Brad Boudreaux, Hattiesburg, Miss.
Defensive Backs
Mike Brown, Nebraska: 1,511
David Macklin, Penn State: 1,255
Jamar Fletcher, Wisconsin: 1,201
Sean Key, FSU: 1,135
Robert Bean, Mississippi St.: 955
Mike Brown may just be the next John Lynch, great hitter out of the secondary.
Matt Spence, Seminole, Fla.


Macklin proved big in helping PSU to a shutout of a pretty good team.
Mark Gurchiek, Sterling Heights, Mich.


Jamar Fletcher may be the most underrated conerback in the country. He could be a good one at the next level with his technique and instincts.
Todd Lester, Mentor, Ohio


Key helped silence Vick's passing game and if he didn't it would have been deadly for FSU.
Michael Corbo, Caldwell, NJ
Coach
Bobby Bowden, FSU: 827
Barry Alvarez, Wisconsin: 342
Bobby Williams, Michigan State: 315
Jerry Sandusky, Penn State: 256
Houston Nutt, Arkansas: 202
Bobby Bowden is one the most brightest and competitive coaches around, on the collegiate or professional level.
Nick McColley, San Antonio, Texas
