Interesting.

definitely agree. And it's the 3 stars that make up the majority on both.

These lineups kind of disprove the star ranking since if Colt McCoy is truly a 3, he shouldn't have even been considered in contention for the Heisman let alone lead his team to the BCSNCG game.
This is why I hate how they rank players, since in the end it's always a crapshoot how well they'll do or not. I mean, take Barkley at USC for example.
For being a 5 star, the most prospected QB in the nation and expected somehow to take USC to the Rose Bowl and ultimately fail miserably.

I'm not. I just thought it was interesting where everyone was ranked that is starting for both teams. Lotsa hidden gems for both teams in this game coming up.

Ingram was a 3 star IIRC

You should take a look at Florida and USC's starters. 80% of their starting lineup is filled by four and five star recruits. Just ridiculous talent on both teams.

He's a True Freshman, he's going to have growing pains.

Barkley's going to be a great QB in due time. It was insanity for people to think USC will not miss a beat this year. They lost nine starters from last year's defense and were starting a true freshman at QB. '07 Florida had the same problems with a a lot of young players starting on defense. Even an out of the world season from Tebow couldn't prevent them from losing four games that year.

Didn't realize Curtis Brown (CB UT) was a 5.

Whew, good. Because Miles and Saban recruit basically the same players.
