As per the NFP's Dave Miller. Here's the Top Five:

 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">1. Florida State QB Jameis Winston: The defending Heisman Trophy winner passed for over 4,000 yards and 40 touchdowns in 2013, and it’s scary to think that he will only improve in all areas of his game.


<p style="margin-left:40px;"> 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">2. Georgia RB Todd Gurley: The Bulldog is simply the best running back in the country when healthy. And that’s the key: staying healthy. He is an exceptional weapon as a pass-catcher as well whose physical nature will play well at the next level.


<p style="margin-left:40px;"> 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">3. USC DL Leonard Williams: The Trojan has proven that he can be very effective both on the edge or inside, and he registered five sacks and 12.5 tackles for loss last season despite reportedly not even being 100 percent healthy. Scary thought.


<p style="margin-left:40px;"> 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">4. Oregon QB Marcus Mariota: The Duck was arguably leading the Heisman Trophy race before his late-season injury helped derail the team’s 2013 campaign. Mariota threw for over 3,600 yards and 31 touchdowns against just four interceptions, and he added 715 yards and nine scores on the ground.


<p style="margin-left:40px;"> 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">5. Alabama WR Amari Cooper: The junior did not put up studly numbers in 2013, but his stock didn’t drop in the eyes of NFL scouts. If he was in a more pass-friendly offense, his numbers would be off the charts because he is an elite talent.


Nice list. Thanks for posting.

 

I feel like Carl Lawson will be much higher on that list by the time the season is over.

This is really strange but I actually had to google the USC Football Head Coach.  I was glad to see them take a few steps back recently but now I think I'd like to see them back in the top 10.   Watching top notch games like USC vs Oregon and even the USC vs UCLA game is pretty cool.  

Duke Johnson LOL.

 

FSU will be absolutely loaded this year.

With how little running backs are valued lately, I wonder how high Gurley will go.

When it comes to best talent in college football, I think Gurley is it. He won't go where his talent level is in the draft because of the RB position in the NFL, but when healthy, dude is the best.

What about Duke? He's the real deal, undersized, but still the real deal.

 

Also, give me Derrick Henry over Yeldon.
I'm excited for the season to start.  Noles have a great chance at repeating.  gator fans, think you are in for an improved yet disappointing season.

Duke is good, but I don't think he is a top player in the country.


And for running backs, expect Karlos Williams to make a name for himself this year. He should have been at running back from the moment he got to Tallahassee.

10 might be high, I agree.
Auburn is loaded again! The entire offensive line will be drafted in the first 4 rounds in the next 2 years.RB is 5 deep for the first time in my life.

I wouldn't say Auburn was loaded last year. Other than the edge rushers, their defense was not very good. And you can't expect to have the same fortune this year. 
Hackenburg at #68 is crazy.  I'm a PSU hater but this dude could be a viable candidate for the Heisman.  He should be in the top 20 at least

I sure hope so.  I've really come to like Auburn over the years.  After living in the shadow of Bama, it is great to see them rise up to the top.

This is what i was wondering myself, I dont think he will hurt himself this season but will a team draft high for him?
It's pretty cool to think about fsu having a shot of having 4-6 first round picks next year

I know its not your job to keep up but the defense will be insane this year.4 guys coming back that didn,t play because they were hurt
2 WR that may go in the first round. Just about everyone on offense will go pro in the next 2 years. A lot of sophomores

AGAIN LOADED!
FSU goin back to back!!
