    I hope he was just giving a list of possibilities in which 2 should, maybe 3 or 4 if you stretch it a bit, but realistically 2.

    When you have depth like that, you know certain guys are going to be good, but maybe not which ones to what extent. Lacy could be a top back, but hard to put him in that range until he proves he can be the man, for example. Same with Depriest and Milliner.

    Personally my issue is Fluker. Guy could be good, but is at best #3 on the team. Jones and Warmack are definitely better.

    No offense, but fluker will get drafted before both of them. He did an awesome job last year. The way that he played against lsu's speed de's convinced me that he will be a top5 guy.

    As for the list, it's horrible. Mingo isn't even the best dl on his team. Only bama player I would add on a preseason list is b jones.

  • Florida State is like the dinasour you see the museum.

    You were told they were great in their ancient days, but aren't relevant currently.

    Anyone who suggest the ACC is a big boy football conference needs their head examined. 1-10 in last 11 BCS Bowl games. While the Big East has gotten a lot of criticism, it's the ACC that continues to wet the bed on the Big Stage in national games and BCS Bowl games.

    Are you saying you expect those 8 players and "a lot of others" to be on the list of Top 25 players in the entire country at the end of the season?

    I think Alabama has a strong team this year that is insanely talented, but that's expecting a bit much.

    I do agree with ASBamaGuy that Jones should be on there, and no lower than 10 IMO. He's dominant.

    I am with you miz. Call me a Bama homer but B. Jones not on the list at all? Anywhere? Seriously?

    Lol. BCS games don't necessarily show who are good conferences or not. The Big East has teams like Cincy, UCONN, USF, and Syracuse in the hunt for conference titles, it shows how much that conference sucks.

    The best example I can give is when Michigan handed it to eventual Big East champion UCONN in the season opener 2 seasons ago, then proceeded to get embarrassed by everyone and their mother the whole season rest of the way.

    The Big East blows, end of story. ACC might be underperforming, but if you don't think FSU, Clemson, Miami, and VT would dominate the Big East most years, just shows you are not in touch with reality.

    How did Randy Edsall do in his first season in the ACC after doing very well in the Big East?

    No where did I insinuate they are the BEST, but easily one of the best and perhaps the best.

    Find a more dynamic player than Tavon Austin.

    Find another QB better than Geno Smith.

    You can name others who are on the same level, but you can't clearly say there are better football players in America at their positions.

    As for stedman bailey, he had 1100 yards receiving and 10 TD's as a sophomore. He's special and (as I said above), IMO a top 25 player. The third is the only one you could dispute, and clearly I said IMO.

    Anything else?

    You making yourself look like a jackass BTW

  • I understand Mosley not being on the list due to him not being a full time starter but he should blow up this year.

    If FSU is a museum then what is WVU?

    FSU won a NC in 2000 just 12 years ago.

    I mean, how many teams have won a BCS title total? Like 10? And FSU is 1 of them.

    Meanwhile, WVU hasn't even been in the discussion for a NC in my entire life that i know of.

    Probably has something to do with this:

    Play

    Florida State Seminoles vs West Virginia H...

    The Seminoles send Bobby Bowden out a winner in the 2010 Gator Bowl. FSU wins it 33-21.
