The 100 Best College Football Players of 2012By Dan Vasta(Featured Columnist) on April 23, 2012 352k reads
Everybody loves to talk about whom the top players in the game are and which conferences they belong to.
Some may have their own personal criteria in terms of production or team importance, but the players that I have ranked are based on whom I would want on my team right now.
I give some love to a few linemen, a pair of kickers and even a punter. However, quarterback, at the end of the day, is vital (despite the past three BCS winners breaking in new starters)—although the importance of defensive linemen and defensive backs is growing by the minute.
Taking a look at the best of the best, here are your top 100 players for the 2012 college football season:
No. 88 Nigel Malone, Kansas State Cornerback
Ed Zurga/Getty Images Tied for third in the nation in interceptions (seven), Malone should be one of the first names mentioned for your underrated squad.
Kansas State’s squad is loaded with a bunch of unknowns due to their lack of national exposure (blitzed by OU, fell short of OK St, knocked off BU).
Malone headlines a defense alongside linebacker Arthur Brown, but the overall speed and instincts from this cornerback are worthy of having on this list.
No. 50 Collin Klein, Kansas State Quarterback

Was there a player more important to his team, especially from an underrated aspect?
Most were unaware of how good the Wildcats were a season ago (as well as Klein's 27 rush TD's which tied FBS record), and despite losing to Arkansas in decisive fashion, LHC Bill Snyder has a lot to be proud of.
It starts with Klein, who is among the best dual-threat signal-callers in all of college football. He accounted for 235 yards of offense per game, which is a boatload of yards per game when you realize the passing offense was among the worst in the country (108th, 151 YPG).
