    LINK: College Football Power Rankings

    Both Miles and Crowton were ranked in the Top 5 in the nation.

    Ciron Black got the highest position ranking of any player on the LSU team (#8 in the nation). Last year, All-Americans Dorsey and Steltz finished with the highest position ranking of any player on the LSU team (Dorsey was the #1 defensive lineman all year long, and Steltz started off the year unranked but finished in the Top 5 for DBs).

    I wish the Saints could draft about 20 of those guys.

    Laurinaitis, Maualuga, Jenkins, Berry, Gresham, and Black for starters...:yelwink2:


    Okay uscvball...don't kill me but what's up with the Pete Carroll lovefest? If he's the greatest and has the greatest players and has the greatest staff, why does he only have one of these?...:crystal:

    I think losing to Stanford should lower him a spot or two...:hihi:.

    Saban is lucky #13...:lol:
    Phat Phil isn't even listed...:D
    Syl Croom MIA as well...:bncry:

    I love that 12 LSU players made their Top 25. I'd imagine a lot of Georgia fans are upset that only 4 of their players did so.
