I'm looking forward to 1902 Rose Bowl MVP Neil Snow's appearance and whether the Wistert brothers are recognized individually or lumped together in a triple entry.

I just now saw a response to one of my comments saying these rankings are according to a poll that was on the MGoBoard for a day (August 9 or something).
OP should probably include that in his post. Unfortunate that the poll wasn't open longer or publicized more. How many people responded?
