You left off the best college football cover from the early years.



Always hard to admit as a Sooner fan but Tommy Frazier was my favorite college football player ever. It was a time when OU was sucking and was simply the greatest all-around QB ever.

Hell Tebow on top ! Sucks isn't performing great or starting right now in NFL such sadness.

An ... interesting ... thread. He kind of goes halfway between ranking the cover itself and the athlete chosen. Which doesn't totally make sense in a poll.

Frazier was an amazingly talented QB, gotta admit he was exciting to watch.
