We asked 32 of ESPNs college ftball writers, editors and analysts to rate players on a scale of 0-10 based on their on their expected contributions for the 2016 season.100-91 | 80-71 | 70-61 | 60-51 | 50-41 | 40-31 | 30-21 | 20-11 | 10-1Donnel Pumphrey San Diego State Aztecs Senior | ?Running Back Score: 7.00Last years Mountain West Conference Offensive Player of the Year might be flying under the radar in a season thats expected to be loaded with elite runners. But his 1,653 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns are anything but pedestrian. Hes a few hundred yards shy of breaking Marshall Faulks schl record for all-time rushing yards (hes sitting on 4,272) and probably will be the Mountain Wests all-time rushing leader by the end of the season.Jordan Whitehead Pittsburgh Panthers Sophomore | Defensive Back Score: 7.01Last season, Whitehead became the first defensive player to win the ACCs rkie-of-the-year honors in 19 years. He had 109 tackles, six TFLs and six breakups. And he isnt just limited to defense: Whitehead was a rusher and receiver at times, tallying 132 yards of offense and two touchdowns.Dan Skipper Arkansas Razorbacks Senior | Offensive Lineman Score: 7.02At 6-ft-10, 322 pounds, Skipper might be the tallest player in the SEC. But hes also one of the leagues best offensive linemen. The senior moved from left to right tackle last year, and as a result, he finished second on the team with a 83 percent offensive grade over 900 snaps.Braden Smith Auburn Tigers? Junior?| Offensive Lineman Score: 7.03After starting all 13 games last year, Smith emerged as one of Auburns most dependable offensive linemen. The 6-ft-6, 300-pound junior has already made an impression on new offensive line coach Herb Hand, who wants to take Smiths game to an elite level.Jordan Thomas Oklahoma Sners Junior |?Cornerback Score: 7.04Opposing coaches, conference-wide, respect Thomas in ways that other returning Big 12 defenders would envy. A lock-down cornerback in a league that produces elite receivers with ease, Thomas gives Oklahomas defense a valuable asset to build around as it creates a foundation for another playoff run.Christian Wilkins Clemson Tigers Sophomore?|?Defensive Tackle Score: 7.05A year ago, Wilkins had 33 tackles, two sacks, developed as onee of the locker-rm leaders for Clemson and, oh by the way, was the receiver on a fake punt in the Orange Bowl that helped propel the Tigers to the national championship game.dddddddddddd Not bad for a backup defensive tackle. This year, Wilkins steps out of the shadows and into a crucial role on Clemsons line. Tony Conner Ole Miss Rebels Senior?|?Safety? Score: 7.06After finishing among the team leaders in tackles as both a freshman and a sophomore, Conners junior season was cut short when he tore his meniscus in Week 3 against Alabama. However, the Ole Miss safety says hell be 100 percent by the time the Rebels open fall camp.Travis Rudolph Florida State Seminoles Junior?|??Wide Receiver? Score: 7.07Throughout spring Seminoles coach Jimbo Fisher showered Rudolph with praise. Fisher demands consistency from his receivers, and Rudolph provided it in a breakout spring. He proved himself as an irreplaceable commodity in spring drills, so Fisher kept him in a non-contact jersey to make sure he was ready for the season.Vince Biegel Wisconsin Badgers Senior?|?Linebacker Score: 7.08The alpha-dog on a stacked Badgers linebacker corps, Biegel appears set for a monster senior year. He was a third-team All-Big Ten pick last season playing opposite conference linebacker of the year Joe Schobert. Now, its Biegels turn to wreak havoc -- and he is especially motivated to show why hes worthy of first-team consideration.? Charles Harris Missouri Tigers Junior?|?Defensive Lineman Score: 7.09The injury to teammate Harold Brantley last year paved the way for Harris, who emerged as one of the more disruptive players in the SEC. He finished second in the conference with 18.5 tackles for loss and also had seven sacks. He already has said hes aiming for 15 sacks this year.100-91 | 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 ' ' '
