The Face of College Football

ESPN.com is running a poll in which the fans can vote for the "Faces of College Football"....you are able to vote for only four former players out of a list of 21....the list is as follows:

Sammy Baugh, Jim Brown, Reggie Bush, Dick Butkus, Earl Campbell, Glenn Davis, Tony Dorsett, Tommie Frazier, Red Grange, Archie Griffin, Tom Harmon, Bo Jackson, Bronko Nagurski, Johnny Rodgers, Barry Sanders, Roger Staubach, Jim Thorpe, Doak Walker, Herschel Walker, Charles Woodson, Vince Young...

On June 22, with 22,463 votes cast, the top four were: Frazier (36.7%), Rodgers (28.0%), H. Walker (25.2%), Jackson (20.1%)...six days later, on June 28, with 132,287 votes cast, the top four were: Frazier (43.0%), Rodgers (39.6%), Griffin (35.2%), Thorpe (13.0%)...

Shockingly, Herschel dropped from 25.2% all the way to 7.4% and Bo went from 20.1% to 5.7%...Griffin rose from 19.6% to 35.2%...the benefactor of Herschel and Bo dropping was Thorpe who practically stayed even 13.7% to 13.0%...

Obviously, the Nebraska and Ohio State fans pumped up the numbers for Frazier, Rodgers, and Griffin...

When choosing my four, I broke it down into various eras - the early years, the mid years, and the current years...here are my four selections:
1. Herschel Walker (photo - right) - the greatest college player that I have ever seen...he was a beast...to me, Walker was the best in any era...
2. Roger Staubach - to represent the mid years, I went with Staubach who was a Heisman winner and made Navy a force...
3. Red Grange (photo - left) - to represent the early years, the Ghost was everything to college football...
4. Vince Young - to represent the current years, Vince was a one man wrecking crew his final two years at Texas...he took the position of quarterback and raised it to another level with his arm and legs...
