I had a feeling you would catch that.I see what you did there, greatest of all time = GOAT !!! Tried to slip one by there, didn't you ??
Bo Jackson was better than Faulk - Hershel Walker too
QB is tough - I want to pick a dual threat guy (Frazier being my fav).... but all time great college QB......Charlie Ward was probably better than Frazier - but those 2 are the best
Orlando Pace was better than Munoz
the greatest college LB of all time is Dick Butkis - he was HOW a college all star team beat an NFL team
My take on a couple positions:
QB - Since this is supposed to be COLLEGE GOAT, I'll go with either Cam Newton, Marcus Mariota, or Tommie Frazier. They were all spectacular in their own unique ways.
RB - I've had the joy to have seen some absolutely incredible running backs as a Husker fan over the years. But for as many Great Ones as we've had, I hate to admit it, but the two best College running backs I've ever seen play were Billy Sims and Marcus Dupree. Like the QBs, these RBs both had different styles but were amazing with the football under their arm.

Oh boy, Bo Jackson & Dick Butkis were both simply awesome beyond belief. For the life of me I can't imagine anybody else being as overwhelming as those two (well....."maybe" Deacon Jones was close).
Most of you aren’t old enough to have seen two of the best: Tom Novak and Bobby Reynolds.
Great list, Hunchback. Especially the steve emtman. Him and Warren Sapp were the best two Dlinemen I ever saw line up versus the skers. Suh definitely belongs there as well. I betcha Florida State fans would include Trev Alberts with the hurting you put on them in the 1994 orange bowl. Dave rimington..man child among boys and Anthony Munoz...legend. Love him or hate him Brian Bosworth deserves a mention at linebacker. Check out his highlight real on youtube...college highlight real. Deion and woodson...yes and yes. And that damn Keith Jackson...………………….Barry Sanders all the way and hard to argue Faulk.
Dave Rimmington at Center was truly in a league of his own. It's fitting that the best center in the country wins an award with Dave's name on it because there hasn't been anyone like him before or since.
The thing I remember about watching Rimmington play is that Dave was so damn fast snapping the ball and firing out that if often looked like he was offsides.
Thanks rod. Someone else mentioned Dick Butkus. That is a really easy pick but my list is players that I have seen play in college. Butkus is so old school I believe he was a 2-way player, both Center and middle linebacker at Illinois. I saw Brian Urlacher in person many times at UNM and he was a man amongst boys. I know Dat Nguyen is a stretch at the other linebacker spot, but damn that guy was a tackling machine. Every time I saw Texas A&M play that guy was all over the field. Some of the guys on my list I actually disliked very much...Irvin and Sanders come to mind. But...they were great players. And Bosworth? Put me in the "hate" category but he was a hell of a backer also. Wistrom was another guy I had a hard time leaving off my list. What a motor! He was one of my all time faves.
I seem to remember him getting called offsides once.
The best college qb, at least his senior season was Vince Young.
I believe Urlacher played safety in college.
The best running back I have seen was LP ... hands down (granted I dont go back much further than that)
SUH has also go to be on the list havent seen many dominate a game from the DT position the way he did.

Jerry Rice, my choice. He hardly ever dropped a catchable pass, and made hundreds of impossible catches. He was a perfectionist on running precise routes. He was highly disciplined during off season training, NEVER let himself go. He was even meticulous about how he tied his shoes, tucked in his jersey at game time. He epitomizes what a professional should be.
