Some guy named Jerry Rice springs to mind... and a guy named Walter Payton... also, Steve McNair... I'm sure I'm missing some.

As far as the BCS system, I hate it. I would really like to see a play-off system implemented. Maybe just 16 teams. Single elimination. There would be 15 Bowl games with the Championship rotated yearly, somewhat like the BCS has it now. The 16 teams would work a lot like the NCAA basketball tourny. The conferences would all send their champs (there are 12 conferences). That would leave four open invitation spots for the other teams that had good seasons, but couldn't win the conference championship, or for the four independent schools (Notre Dame comes to mind). These four open invite teams would give the 'power conferences' (SEC with 12 teams, Big 12 with 12) to have possibly two representatives. I can't see why they wouldn't do this. It makes sense to me... Anyone?
