This Week's Special - Top 5 dangerous players in College Football

Toby Gerhart - RB - Stanford

Gerhart is a workhorse back who is not afraid of contact. In fact this guy goes after contact. It is amazing this guy didn't end up on the other side of the ball as a linebacker or safety. You instantly know why he doesn't play defense when you watch his highlight reel. Toby has sneaky speed and almost always needs two or three defenders to take him down. He SHOULD win the Heisman Trophy this year and will at least be in New York for the presentation. Similar player - Mike Alstott

Golden Tate - WR - Notre Dame

Whether lining up at running back, in the wildcat, wide receiver, or punt returner, Golden Tate is just seconds away from doing something you have never seen before. With freakish video game like quickness and surprising strength for his size, Golden Tate is possibly the best all around player in college football today. He might also have the most appropriate name for the school he plays for as well. Similar player - Percy Harvin

C.J. Spiller - RB - Clemson

Clemson's CJ Spiller has probably single handedly won half of Clemson's 8 games this season. He is everything you want in a running back. Good size, blazing speed, power, and the big play ability. While most running backs take a rest on special teams this guy showcases some of his greatest skills returning kicks. Rumor has it Clemson does not use pride stickers because Spiller would have to start putting them on his shirt and pants. Similar player - Larry Johnson

Tim Tebow - QB - Florida

Tim Tebow is very dangerous because you have no clue what he is going to do from play to play. He can run you over, juke you out of your jockstrap, throw a jump pass over your head, or throw a bullet past your ear. With the size of a linebacker it is almost cheating that this guy is allowed to play the quarter back position, and play it this well. With two National Titles under his belt, a Heisman trophy, and possibly a third Title this season, Tim Tebow has proven himself and his team as one of the greatest to ever play college football. Similar player - no one

Jeramiah Masoli - QB - Oregon

Just watch a replay of the Oregon USC game a couple weeks back and you will know why this guy is so dangerous. I'm sure he has heard, "Your too short to play QB" one thousand times in his life and he has definitely proven everyone of them wrong. He is probably a better runner than your favorite team's running back and just about as good a passer as your teams quarterback. His versatility and leadership abilities are crazy good. This guy is simply fun to watch play football. Similar player - Maurice Jones Drew with a good arm

This Weeks Special - Top 5 NBA Players Right Now

Steve Nash - PG - Suns

Suns Point guard and famous Canadian, is taking over the league similar to his back to back MVP seasons from years ago. His Suns are currently 9 - 2 with wins over both the Heat and the Celtics in their buildings. Nash is leading the league in assists by almost 2 full assists per game than next best guy (Derron Williams).

Lebron James - SF - Cavaliers

The chosen one, King James, Akron Hammer, whatever you want to call him just make sure you call him good. Averaging 27 - 7 - 7 on a team that is starting to get on a roll would be the easy pick for number one if it wasn't for Steve Nash's resurgence (did he ever really go away?). Lebron's outside jumper has improved from last year and so has is ability to handle the "where will you be next year " question he hears anytime theres a Mic in his face.

Dwyane Wade - SG - Heat

Dwyane Wade's Heat are a top NBA team despite having a supporting cast equivalent of The Hills. Wade and his Heat do so much more with less than any other successful team in the NBA. Hitting a game winning three pointer against the Nets Saturday night certainly doesn't hurt your ranking either.

Carmelo Anthony - SF - Nuggets

Carmelo Anthony, the third member on this list from the 2003 draft class, just might be the best scorer in the NBA today. Carmelo's Nuggets, the surprise team in the western conference finals a year ago, are looking better than ever. Carmelo is playing like an MVP and not even Kobe's Lakers could slow him and his team down. Melo has yet to drop below 20 points in a game this year and continues to be beastly on the boards.

Kevin Durant - SG/SF - Thunder

Kevin Durant is quickly emerging as one of our leagues elite players. The debate two drafts ago of Durant or Oden is looking more one sided than than a Muhamma Ali Dustin Diamond fight. Durant is making believers out of doubters and creating more room on the Thunder bandwagon every night. Durant can get at it on the boards just about as good as he can score, NBA Jam players watch in awe as he lights it up on a whim.
