Way, way too high IMO. Anthony Thomas and Woodley didn't belong on the list and Hart does but is at least 5 slots over-rated. No way does he deserve to be in front of Rice, Oosterbaan, Kramer, Leach and especially Russell.

I have a feeling this will be the first of several "WTF" rankings as we count down to #1.

Hart was good but this is too high. Part of his record breaking success was longevity....which is something the greats almost never have as they leave before eligibility is used up.

Love him but not top 10.

Hart's 4 years on the team were my 4 years as a student, so he'll always hold a uniquely high place in my ... heart (wah-wah).  I'll never forget standing in the student section as a freshman & just boggling at how every single play, he somehow ended up w/ 2 more yards than I thought he was going to get.  Not the fastest, not the biggest or strongest, but one of the cleverest & most determined runners you could ever ask for.
