BOL Round Table

I can understand Te'o- best player on a top 4 team and top 2-3 defense esp w/ an offense that hasn't set the world on fire. Plus 5 interceptions is impressive for an MLB. I've watched several of their games and think he's deserving of the attention.

I thought the same thing about Teo's picks. That's really impressive, but I don't know how long he can keep it going

It tells me the early favorites have fallen (Geno, Barkley), the QBs left either aren't flashy enough for the media to hype (McCarron), too young (Manziel), or play for a team that doesn't generate strong national buzz even at #2 (Klein). There definitely have been more deserving defensive players in the past but they went against more exciting traditional picks. Jones isn't going to get a serious look unless he comes up big in a win at the SEC championship game. Te'o plays for ND, so logic doesn't seem to apply where their concerned. That said, I'd be shocked if K-state wins out and Klein doesn't get it.

Not arguing that- those guys were dominant. Thomas would be a finalist this day on age IMO
