@@Chalk89 I posted my comment an hour before yours but yes I totally agree. Nobody ever brings up the 4th and 9 pass to Dwayne Jarret in South Bend to keep their 3peat alive. You can make the argument that’s the most clutch throw ever in college. Btw, Leinart audibled into that pass.
@@Bonecrusher19 It's funny how the detractors used to say, 'they were at such an advantage talent-wise!!!' Meanwhile, the offense at 'SC didn't materialize in the pros yet Burrow had Jefferson, Chase; Tebow had Harvin, Hernandez; Trevor Lawrence had Etienne, Higgins, Renfrow, etc. Seems like other QBs were allowed to benefit from star casts but Leinart wasn't. Forgot to include Baker Mayfield...who threw passes to Ceedee Lamb, Mark Andrews and Marquise Brown.
@@Chalk89 I agree with that too. Leinart was never given his roses for the reason you stated. Now in college, you can make an argument that Leinart’s talent in college was as good as you’d see. They just were in an era where the air raid hasn’t taken off yet so the focus was always on Bush and White with Leinart directing. I’m bias but the 2004 USC team is hands down the best team to ever play College Football.
@@Chalk89 yep! With that said, I do think USC’s talent was the same as those players you named. Those players just went on to the NFL and had success for many reasons. But make no mistake about it. Jarrett, Smith, and Byrd were dogs at USC and would’ve put in work in today’s game. But to validate your point even more, assuming that your argument is valid, what does that say about the coaching at USC then? To take a team that, compared to the names you threw out, didn’t have talent and made them ballers, that only shows how good of a coach and talent evaluator Pete Carroll was. He also hired Norm Chow, Lane Kiffin, and Steve Sarkisian. Pete Carroll may just know something a little about offense and his ability to identify talented coaching. I’ll stand by this and people can argue all they want, but the 04/05 USC team that beat Oklahoma 55-19, is the greatest team of all time.
Are you joking???????? You must have never watched him play!!!! Dude had to deal with double teams every play and still dominated. Everyone must have had him as the consensus number 1 pick in the draft because of one play. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡
@@Joy-rh8cg Clowney never had double digit sacks in a single season as the #1 overall pick at defensive end which proves he was chosen #1 because of 1 play in a bowl game.
@@BigginsInAmerica so those 13 sacks and over 20 tfl’s in 2012 are still a school record because he never had double digit sacks? At least just do a little research before spouting off.
A DEFENSIVE TACKLE.. by HIMSELF… had better stats than Bama’s Dline, Florida’s Dline, and Texas’ Dline… A FUCKING DEFENSIVE TACKLE. #1 of the 2000s hands down no question. Biggest Heisman snub of all time.
Tebow is the greatest player in SEC history. Tebow and Reggie 1 and 2 in whatever order and then Cam and VY 3 and 4 in whatever order. What Cam did in 1 season on the plains was incredible. Regardless of system, I would throw Colt Brennan and Case Keenum in there just because they produced crazy numbers. Also, Kingsbury or Graham Harrell. Whichever one threw for more yards.
Reggie Bush, Lamar Jackson, Cam Newton, Sean Taylor, Tavon Austin. That’s the 5, the order doesn’t matter. Adrian Peterson can replace one of those guys with no argument, but why the hell Baker is on this list is beyond me.
Joe Burrow had one year with a roster that was absolutely loaded to the gills with NFL talent. I don’t see how he nor Vince Young are ahead of Matt Leinart
Joe was behind TLaw in stats before TLaw missed two games because of ACC covid protocols and FSU canceled their game an hour before kickoff. That's three games that TLaw didn't get stats and win totals.
What the hell was that devonta smith hate. He won a heisman,sec player of the year, most tds and yards in a sec season, national championship game mvp with a dominant performance against Ohio State. “He’s a good little playmaker” is so lazy and disrespectful
Joe burrow at 9 when he had arguably the best qb season and at worst is top 3 season is actually insane. All the lsu boys slept on too. N I love suh but come on mane. And call me a casual but WHO TF IS BRYANT MCKINNIE???
Baker Mayfield being the top QB is the biggest joke I’ve ever seen. Cam, Tebow, Vince Young, Lawerence, Burrow, Mariota, and Winston were all better than him and I can probably name 5-6 more that were too
People forget how much of a anomaly that guy was at Pit. I'd take Fitz at pit over any college wide receiver since then other than Julio or Calvin. There's an argument for taking him over both of them
@@jander56 true Fitz also did what he did in 2 seasons and left for the NFL as a Sophomore. Julio was a Junior and Calvin at GT was a junior too both going to the league. Larry’s stats alone are crazy, only in a video game could you put Fitzgerald, Julio,Calvin on the same team of early 2000’s recover trios.
You can make a case for Leinart being the greatest QB in college history. 37-2 as a starter. Lost only 2 games by a total of 6. 3OT lost at Cal with Aaron Rodgers where the kicker missed it that allowed Cal to win, then USC not able to pick up the 4th and 2 run by LenDale White. Should they win those 2 games, 39-0 with 3 national championships. With that not being the case. Broke almost every USC passing record at the time. 2/3 time All-American. Heisman winner and finalist. 2 time national champion. Many people totally forget the pass Leinart made to Dwayne Jarrett on 4th and 9, off an audible, to keep their 3peat alive.

Where the hell is Adrian Peterson ?
Darren mcfadden slept on
This is an impossible conversation, and I’m glad you had it…well done guys
1. Reggie Bush
2. Vince Young
3. Tim Tebow
4. Adrian Peterson
5. Johnny Manziel
6. Cam Newton
7. Big Suh
8. Joe Burrow
9. Ed Reed
10. Matt Leinhart
Bump Suh to 4 and this list is great
Being in middle watching cam newton was special for me
Andre Johnson at Miami was uncoverable......
And leaving Sean Taylor off the list should be a crime
Matt Leinart never, ever gets the appreciation he deserves. Two National Championships, won the Heisman and finished 3rd and 6th in other years.

Broke my heart when I was a kid watching Vince beat Reggie 😂
legendary game.
i completely forgot how the honey badger took over college football for that brief moment
So we gone act like Peter Warrick wasn’t the guy at Florida St
My favorite college football player ever
Clowney's entire college career was 1 play against Michigan in a bowl game. Suh was a Heisman finalist as a DT.

I don't understand the Mayfield spot. Mayfield isn't top 10 but I wouldn't have him top 20.
WOW, Percy Harvin!! That is a player. Dude was faster than lightning.

A FUCKING DEFENSIVE TACKLE. #1 of the 2000s hands down no question. Biggest Heisman snub of all time.
LaMichael James, Cadillac Williams, Ronnie Brown
Im with JB, Vince > Cam
And Tebow > both of them
Cam, Suh, Reggie, Calvin Johnson, Vince, Manziel, burrow, Lamar, AP, honey badger
Burrow ahead of manziel
Steve is awesome! Definitely knows his ball.
Jameis Winston should have been on this list
marcuz mariota would be over him
@@kevindurcant1both of them definitely got a top 10 argument put both their teams on the scene
Yea Jameis went 26-1 in his career with us
Any list without Percy Harvin is dog shit
For defensive players, Eric Berry should be on the list. Incredible player. Just ask offensive players in the SEC at the time.
Tebow is the greatest player in SEC history. Tebow and Reggie 1 and 2 in whatever order and then Cam and VY 3 and 4 in whatever order. What Cam did in 1 season on the plains was incredible.
Regardless of system, I would throw Colt Brennan and Case Keenum in there just because they produced crazy numbers. Also, Kingsbury or Graham Harrell. Whichever one threw for more yards.
Fuck no Tebow is definitly not the greatest player in SEC history that's a big stretch lmao we wasn't even the best player on that Florida team
Reggie Bush, Lamar Jackson, Cam Newton, Sean Taylor, Tavon Austin. That’s the 5, the order doesn’t matter. Adrian Peterson can replace one of those guys with no argument, but why the hell Baker is on this list is beyond me.
Great shout in Tavon Austin
How is Pat White so slept on? He was electric to watch. He won 4 bowl games, including a Sugar Bowl and Fiesta Bowl
D MAC!! TOP 3 PERIOD!! BEST BACK FOR 3 YRS IN SEC!!!!
Andre Johnson!!

Graham Harrell and Crabtree

Tebow at #6 is fuckin nuts... And I'm a Tennessee fan lol
Pat White, Michael Vick, RG3, …
Suh was the most dominant player ever
Mike Vick should absolutely be on this list.
Travis ETN has about every ACC rushing record and a couple of national records.
Matt Lienart should 100% be on it.
Were is Darren McFadden
Where's TF is Peter Warrick, Sean Taylor, Michael Vick, Charles Woodson or Tyraun Mathieu???
Where is Darren McFadden
Matt Leinhart
Joe Burrow after his big year at LSU easily should be Number 1 on this list
bro burrow good but not the best player out of 20 years
@@JRIZZ_ Burrow put up 48 on bama in Tuscaloosa, beat OU, Clemson, Georgia all in the same year, won the Heisman. That’s pretty impressive
@@MrBmm751it is, but he only had one year of that incredible play. Hard to put him over guys that did it three, four years.
I wish Maurice Clarett had more season in college.
Shawn Taylor
Larry Fitzgerald should 100% be on this list.
Tavon austin
No Tavon Austin?
Jameis Winston being left off is wild to me.
Can't have a top 10 without honey badger.
He left early on some bad advice, but mike williams was unreal

Look up Suhs stats
This list proves how little college football journalists actually know about college football…….. This shit is fucking tragic.
It’s a fucking travesty that Darren McFadden ain’t in the top ten. A travesty.
For me it is Tim Tebow number 1. Probably Bush at number 2 and also where the hell is Trevor Lawrence? Replace Baker with Lawrence.
Yeah Tim Tebow has to be in the top 3
