Price better than Bray? Lmao
What makes price better than Mike Glennon? THey were nearly the same statistically in their first years as starters and Price got like 500 yards in that stupid bowl game against Baylor.

Fresh bowl performance on everyones mind plus the fact that this poll seems to be a little west coast bias in the ranking of certain players.

I watch plenty. You're a washington fan so I'm sure this guy dominated your team last year, but I have a hard time believing he's the second best player in the entire country. I don't keep up with Clemson, but it was impossible to not know who Sammy Watkins was last year. I've never heard of that other dude.


You need to watch more then. Lee and Woods were the best WR tandem in the country last year IMO and will be absolutely terrifying this year.

That's great and all, but that doesn't mean that Lee is the 2nd best player coming into the nation next year. Especially when there is some very good talent around the nation.

Then you should know he sucks arse without him and doesnt deserve to be on this list


Ok, i'll repost after he's a top 15 pick next yr. He would have been 1st round this yr. FWIW I hate OU being an OSU alum but if you think Landry isn't any good then you are a rehtard.

Ryan Tanneyhil is about to be a top 15 pick this year so i dont buy your measuring stick. The dude threw one TD the rest of the year without Broyles against terrible defenses

He was his security blanket and when that was taken away, the real Landry Jones reared his head

Hes an above average QB but hes not a top 25 player in the nation, not even close

Price has the highest QB rating of any returning BCS quarterback in the country and he's only a Junior.

I think a lot of that had to do with the emergence of the dickheaddozer taking away a lot of Landry's TD opportunities. We'll see this yr with Landry i guess. He's got all the physical tools to be a top 25 player IMO and we'll see if he's made the adjustment to life without broyles.

Had Jarvis Jones not transfered to Georgia, USC would have had 4 in the top ten.

And in five years when the super bowl does their introductions at least a third of the players will be from small schools...

At least 9 should come from the SEC East alone. The list is obviously flawed.
