What is #CFBrank? #CFBrank is the Twitter hashtag to use if you want to get involved in the discussion or just follow along.How did we rank the players? We asked 32 of ESPNs college football writers, editors and analysts to rate players on a scale of 0-10 based on their on their expected contributions for the 2016 season.90-81 | 80-71 | 70-61 | 60-51 | 50-41 | 40-31 | 30-21 | 20-11 | 10-1 Damien Mama USC Trojans Junior | Guard Score: ?6.72At 6-foot-4, 325 pounds, Mama is a force on the Trojans offensive line. His 17 career starts are going to be huge for USC this season as the Trojans work in a new quarterback and look to get back to their power run game. Isaiah Ford Virginia Tech Hokies Junior | Wide Receiver Score: 6.73One of the top returning receivers in the ACC, Ford became the first 1,000-yard receiver in school history in 2015 and also set single-season school records for receptions (75) and touchdowns (11). With an offense-minded coach who likes to spread the ball around in Justin Fuente, Ford will have a shot at breaking all his marks this season. Marquez White Florida State Seminoles Senior | Defensive Back Score: 6.83Jalen Ramsey overshadowed White last season, but White excelled at cornerback alongside the future top-five pick. Since dropping basketball and focusing solely on football, Whites developed into one of the ACCs best defensive backs. Hell earn more of a spotlight this season. Riley Bullough Michigan State? Senior | Linebacker Score: 6.87Bullough adds a new layer of sideline-to-sideline speed to his familys long legacy of hardnosed heavy hitters in East Lansing. Hes the undisputed leader of a defense that might end up having one of the best linebacker groups in the country this season. Shock Linwood Baylor Bears Senior | Running Back Score: 6.88Linwood should go down as the most prolific running back in school history. Hell shatter the Baylor career rushing record this fall, needing only 204 yards to take the No. 1 spot. Linwood brings a potent mix of power, breakaway speed and consistency (6.8 yards per rush last season) to an already explosive offense. Sony Michel Georgia Bulldogs Junior | Running Back Score: 6.89We made this pick before Michel broke his forearm in an ATV crash, potentially forcing him to miss a game or two early in the season. One of the SECs most versatile backs, he rushed for 1,161 yards in Nick Chubbs absence and caught 26 passes for 270 yards in 2015. Orlando Brown Oklahoma Sooners Sophomore | Tackle Score: 6.90The redshirt sophomore is just tapping into how good he can be after a strong debut season. He started all 13 games in 2015 and should be even better in 2016 with a year of experience under his belt. His combination of length, strength and athleticism makes him one of the freakiest athletes in the Big 12. Jake Browning Washington Huskies Sophomore | Quarterback Score: 6.93Though Huskies coach Chris Petersen doesnt like comparing players, he admits that Browning reminds him of Kellen Moore, his former All-American QB at Boise State. As a true freshman, Browning passed for 2,955 yards and 16 touchdowns, playing better as the season progressed. A cerebral player with good accuracy, hes a big reason many believe Washington is headed for a Pac-12 breakthrough in Petersens third season. Sidney Jones Washington Huskies Junior ?| Defensive Back Score: 6.96Though hes not the most well-known player on Washingtons roster, Jones is the most irreplaceable player in the Huskies defensive rotation. He keeps his side so locked down that coaches know they dont have to worry about anything happening over there. Jones finished the 2015 season with four interceptions (returned 125 yards, one touchdown), three forced fumbles, 10 pass break ups and 14 passes defended. Corey Clement Wisconsin Badgers Senior | Running Back Score: 6.97Clements junior campaign sputtered from the start and never fully recovered. He suffered a sports hernia injury in the season opener, missed two months and fell far short of his goal to rush for 2,000 yards. But hes fully healthy now, with a deep running back group and a more experienced offensive line unit. If he can remain on the field, expect to see him among the Big Tens rushing leaders all season.90-81 | 80-71 | 70-61 | 60-51 | 50-41 | 40-31 | 30-21 | 20-11 | 10-1Voters: Andrea Adelson, Edward Aschoff, Brian Bennett, Kyle Bonagura, David Ching, Heather Dinich, Matt Fortuna, Kevin Gemmell, David Hale, Travis Haney, Brock Huard, Chantel Jennings, Sharon Katz, Sam Khan Jr., David Lombardi, Chris Low, Tom Luginbill, Ivan Maisel, Ryan McGee, Erik McKinney, Ted Miller, Dan Murphy, Max Olson, Greg Ostendorf, Adam Rittenberg, Alex Scarborough, Jared Shanker, Mitch Sherman, Phil Steele, Jake Trotter, Tom VanHaaren, Austin Ward Custom Randy Johnson Jersey .

Wholesale Custom Yankees ShirtsAlex Rodriguez Jersey . LOUIS -- Attorneys for the St. WASHINGTON -- Max Scherzer believes the Washington Nationals were one hanging curveball away from beating the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of their NL Division Series.Scherzer hung a curveball to Justin Turner that became a two-run home run and gave up a home run to Corey Seager as the Nationals lost to the Dodgers 4-3 on Friday night. Nationals hitters decried the missed opportunities of going 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position, but Washingtons ace took the blame for mistakes that proved costly.Giving up those two home runs, I really feel like that was the difference in the ballgame, said Scherzer, who allowed four runs and five hits in six innings. Im accountable for that, and Ill shoulder that, and Ill take the blame for that. I know Im capable of executing pitches at a higher level and Ive got to do it.Scherzer (0-1) allowed a solo shot to Seager on a first-pitch fastball in the first inning that the rookie shortstop drilled to center field. Seager said the Dodgers were looking for any runs they could get off Scherzer, a 20-game winner and NL Cy Young Award candidate.In the third, Los Angeles scratched across another run on an RBI single by Chase Utley;?then Utley broke up a potential double play and set the stage for Turner to go deep to left.Scherzer said the third inning will keep him up late at night. He settled down and didnt allow a run from that point on, but Turners blast loomed large.We were pretty aggressive, and that kind of affected the way Max pitched to us, said Turner, who had 27 home runs during the regular season. The second time through, he went through all the secondary stuff even more than we saw him do on tape. Thats what you have to do; you have to make adjustments on the fly and see what other teams are doing and attacking, and you have to try to make adjustments with them.The Nationals got to Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw (1-0) for three runs on eight hits in five innings. Anthony Rendon had a two-run single in the third, and rookie Trea Turner drove in another run with a sacrificee fly in the fourth.ddddddddddddBut shortstop Danny Espinosa struck out three times -- with two runners on each time -- and Washington got only one hit in four innings against L.A. relievers Joe Blanton, Grant Dayton, Pedro Baez and Kenley Jansen. Manager Dusty Baker acknowledged Espinosa didnt have a very good night, but teammates shared the responsibility for the offensive futility.Were a great team, said reigning NL MVP Bryce Harper, who went 1-for-5 with a double and a run scored. When we get guys on base, we usually have pretty dang good at-bats and usually get those guys in. Definitely tough scoring three runs tonight.MURPHY CAUGHT STEALINGOf all the Nationals missed opportunities, no bad decision loomed larger than one in the seventh inning when second baseman Daniel Murphy walked and took off to try to steal second off Baez. Murphy was coming off missing time with a strained glute, had the green light to go because he thought Baezs delivery was slow, and was thrown out by catcher Yasmani Grandal.Theres only two choices on that play: Its either be safe or dont run, and I cant get thrown out right there, Murphy said. It cost me an at-bat in the ninth inning as well, running into an out on the bases.TRAINERS ROOMNationals: RHP Stephen Strasburg threw a bullpen session hours before Game 1 -- his first time on a mound since he hurt his right elbow a month ago. He was ruled out for the NLDS, but the Nationals hope he can return if the team advances. ... All-Star C Wilson Ramos, out for the season with a torn knee ligament, threw out the ceremonial first pitch.UP NEXTIn Game 2, RHP Tanner Roark (16-10, 2.83 ERA) starts for the Nationals, taking the assignment that likely would have gone to Strasburg if he were healthy. LHP Rich Hill (3-2, 1.84 ERA in six starts after a trade from Oakland) will pitch for the Dodgers. He was let go from Washingtons Triple-A Syracuse affiliate last year. ' ' '
