The best college football coaches are not just the best <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-college-football-coaches-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">NCAA Football coaches</a> going into the 2017-2018&nbsp;college football season, but also some of the <a href="/list/best-college-football-coaches-of-all-time-/johnwarner" target="_blank">best college football coaches of all time</a>. These talented football coaches are all looking to lead their team to greatness in the upcoming season and the chances that one will hoist the championship trophy is highly likely.With three national championships with the Alabama Crimson Tide since 2009, it's hard to make a case that anyone other than Nick Saban is the best current college football coach. Thought he could also be considered one of the <a href="/list/worst-nfl-coaches-of-all-time/arthur-roderick" target="_blank">worst NFL coaches of all time</a>, his success coaching in the college ranks simply cannot be rivaled.That said, there are dozens of other coaches looking to unthrone Saban as the top current NCAA Football coach. Bill Snyder of Kansas State, Brian Kelly of Notre Dame, Steve Spurrier of South Carolina and even Urban Meyer of Ohio State are all in the hunt and the chances that one of their teams will meet the Crimson Tide in the BCS National Championship Game are pretty good.How you select the best college football coaches of today can come from a variety of factors be it win-loss record, a big victory over your most-hated rival or just being the main man leading your favorite team down the field. However you rank them, do so below by voting, re-ranking this list or adding any not already listed to determine the absolute best current college football coaches.

Jerry Rice

American College football, like all football originated as rugby in England and Canada, eventually rugby came stateside, then eventually became the game we know and love today. Years later the NCAA was formed to regulate college teams. The wide receivers on this list were the best of the best in NCAA football during their college careers.The NCAA allows students from American universities, colleges, Canadian universities, or military academies to play. American college football has seen a surge in popularity in recent years, but it was actually through college football that the American football rules gained popularity in the first place.The wide receivers are key players in almost all passing plays. Their prime directive is to catch passes from the quarterback and as such they are usually the fastest, most agile players in the game.Below, we commemorate the greatest college wide receivers of ALL TIME! If you see a name missing feel free to add it and vote up your favorite wide receivers who had truly incredible college careers.

John L. Smith

The worst college football coaches of all time are those select few men who were given the chance to coach a major NCAA Football team and failed miserably. These bad college football coaches may have seen some success at one point in their coaching careers but also gave the world some of the worst college football coaching performances in history. Though it was not for anything he did on the field, an argument could be made that Jerry Sandusky, a former assistant coach for the Penn State Nittany Lions, is perhaps the worst person to ever join the college football coaching ranks following his child sex abuse scandal that rocked the world of college football in 2012. As far as on the field reasons, there are plenty of college football coaches who earned spots on this list for their poor performance. No one will forget how Rich Rodriguez brought college football's winningest program, the Michigan Wolverines, to its knees during his brief period as head coach from 2008 to 2010 or the disappointment that Charlie Weis brought to the acclaimed Notre Dame Fighting Irish during his five-year coaching experiment from 2005 to 2009. Going even deeper into the record books, we can also include those who tallied the worst win-loss records as <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-college-football-coaches-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">NCAA Football coaches</a> ever. Rick Venturi is a great example of that when he won only one game over three seasons when he coached the Northwestern Wildcats in the late 1970s. So for however you choose to select the worst college football coaches ever, be it the disappointment they brought to your program or the complete shame they brought to the sport by their off-field actions, there is no shortage of names that can be added to this list of worst college football coaches.

O. J. Simpson

A list of the best Heisman Trophy winners of all time. Since 1935, the Heisman Trophy has been handed out to the outstanding college football player whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity. Some of the greatest players in college football history have won this award. The Heisman Trophy is one of the most coveted awards in all of American sports. Of the tens of thousands of players who compete on Saturdays, many of them want to win this award. Notre Dame and Ohio State are currently the schools with the most Heisman winners with 7 each. USC is second with 6, though they had 7 prior to Reggie Bush vacating the 2005 Heisman Trophy due to a controversial ruling by the NCAA. Schools, students and alumni take a lot of pride when one of their players winning the Heisman.The list of collegiate superstars who have won the Heisman is impressive. Pro Football Hall of Fame running backs like Oklahoma State's Barry Sanders, USC's Marcus Allen and Texas's Earl Campbell were all recipients of the Heisman Trophy. Ohio State's Archie Griffin is the only two-time Heisman winner. More recently, quarterbacks like Auburn's Cam Newton, Baylor's Robert Griffin III and Texas A&amp;M's Johnny Manziel have won the award.&nbsp;&nbsp;College football is one of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/most-popular-american-sports?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">most popular sports in America</a>. Second to winning a national championship, nothing riles up a school's fan base like having a player in contention to win the Heisman Trophy. This is the list of all of the Heisman Trophy winners of all time. Vote or rerank this list based on who you think is the greatest Heisman Trophy winner ever.&nbsp;

A list of the largest college football stadiums in the United States, with photos! College Football is one of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/most-popular-american-sports?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">most popular sports</a> in the US, and the sports venues are often as famous as the teams themselves. Also, bowl games are huge annual spectacles in America. TV ratings soar as the US watches their favorite football teams take to the gridiron of their athletic fields. Since Americans like things big, this list ranks the largest capacity college football stadiums we have in the USA. Enjoy!What are the largest football stadiums in the United States? Most of them are in the South, where football schools like Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Tennesee and Florida are located. But th University of Michigan, Penn State, USC and UCLA's stadiums aren't slouches either. All of these stadiums at, around or above 100,00 people on gameday. No matter how you cut it, that's an impressive achievement.&nbsp;

The biggest college bowl game upsets include dozens of college football games that defied all expert predictions and shocked the country. One fine NCAA Football team went in with every expectation of bringing home a victory but they either failed or were simply overpowered by their opponent and went home upset. These games might not have played out how everyone expected, but more often than not it made these games even more exciting. Even before NCAA Division I football started using the Bowl Championship Series, at the end of each season teams play in bowl games rather than participate in a standard playoff system. To become eligible, teams must win at least half of their games but even after that requirement is met, the bowl game match-ups are still up to the sponsors. Normally, this creates games with well-matched opponents but sometimes, especially in these cases, one team enters as a clear favorite. In case you haven't already guessed, sometimes that favorite crashes and burns.That was the case for all of these bowl game upsets but just like some bowl games are more meaningful than others, some of these upsets are more memorable as well. Take the 2007 BCS <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/college-football-playoff-predictions/pedro-cerrano?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">National Championship Game</a> for example. The top-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes entered with a win streak of 19 games and were the clear-cut favorite against the Florida Gators. Head coach Urban Meyer and Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Tim Tebow never got that memo as they ran right over the Buckeyes 41-14 to win the National Championship.Other games have not come with national championship consequences but that didn't make the upset any easier to deal with for the losing players. Close games, such as those who go into overtime, are especially tough for the upset players, such as the 2000 Sugar Bowl between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Michigan Wolverines. Then-Michigan quarterback Tom Brady led the Wolverines back from two 14-point deficits to force overtime but it was a missed field goal from the Alabama kicker in the extra session that cost the Crimson Tide the game.Whether teams are heavily favored to win a college bowl game and lose or dominate the entire contest only to fall from one bad play, these college bowl game upsets will be remembered as the best of the best.

The most underrated college football players are the unsung heroes that help their NCAA Football teams achieve great things but do so without the mainstream attention paid to other players. <a href="http://bleacherreport.com/articles/906731-the-30-hottest-college-athletes" rel="nofollow">(click here for the hottest college female athletes.)</a> You won't see these guys on the short lists for the Heisman Trophy or among the names on the lists of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-college-football-players-2011/sportsyeah" target="_blank">best college football players</a> but it's certainly not because they are not deserving. These college football players are some of the brightest and most talented in the sport but for one reason or another don't get the same glitz and glamor of others. Some play for lesser known teams, such as Northern Illinois Huskies quarterback Chandler Harnish, who threw for 8,670 yards for 66 touchdowns in his first three years, or Stedman Bailey, a senior wide receiver for the West Virginia Mountaineers who leads the team with an average of 17.9 yards per catch.Others are simply a great among greats and are overshadowed by stronger players on their team or division. <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-washington-huskies-quarterbacks/ranker-college-football?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Washington Huskies quarterback</a> Keith Price falls into that category. As of October, Price ranked second in the country with 21 touchdown passes but with other amazing players such as 2011 Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III, Kellen Moore and Andrew Luck, Price's name is rarely mentioned.Each of these players are talented and help their respective college football team even without the media praise that other players receive. They don't play their hearts out for the attention, they play it because they love the game and want to succeed. That makes them not only the most underrated college football players in the game today but it also makes them local heroes that give the fans of their teams something to cheer about. That self sacrifice with little reward is pretty darn respectable.

The worst <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/heisman-trophy-winners/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Heisman Trophy winners</a>&nbsp;certainly excelled in the college game but failed at the next level. The biggest Heisman disappointments hail from some of the most storied programs in <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/top-college-football-quarterbacks-2012?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">college football</a>, and while many Heisman Trophy winners had great NFL careers (players like Barry Sanders, Marcus Allen and Tony Dorsett), others&nbsp;peaked in college and were just never the same. The biggest Heisman busts were of course high draft picks but quite obviously failed to live up to expectations. Heisman busts like Matt Leinart and Andre Ware could fall into the category of enormously disappointing QBs. Other Heisman Trophy failures in the NFL were <a href="http://www.ranker.com/tags/Running-Backs?ref=internalCrossLinking_tag">running backs</a> (like Rashaan Salaam and Archie Griffin) that never matched their college success at the pro level.
