7. A. J. Hawk, LB, Ohio State- This guy was a dominant run stopper and pass rusher, with a Fiesta Bowl Defensive MVP trophy and a Lombardi Award on the shelf.

6. Matt Leinart, QB, USC- He won a national championship. He won the Heisman Trophy. He even gave up being a lock to go first in the NFL Draft to come back for his senior season, only to free-fall in the next year's draft. Those easily warrant him the sixth spot.

5. Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU- This beast is already being compared to Warren Sapp. He recorded 12.5 TFL's and 7 sacks on a knee that was damaged by a cheap shot, all while performing the best celebration in college football.

4. Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma- Could be higher, might have even won the Heisman if not for his injuries, but when healthy he was dominant.

3. Tim Tebow, QB, Florida- Really only this high because of his monster 2007. And what a monster, becoming the first player ever to rush and pass for 20 TD's.

2. Reggie Bush, RB, USC- He set the record for most first place votes for the Heisman Trophy, and there were none more electrifying.

1. Vince Young, QB, Texas- Easily the best of this era and arguably the greatest of all time. His legendary performance in Pasadena will rank as one of the greatest clutch performances of all time.
