NCAA football 14 rosters **2006** (xbox 360)
In 2007 we were delivered some of the greatest college football of all time. How can we forget one of the of the century? For the second time on the year, the Buckeyes were playing in a No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup. The Buckeyes not only won the Big Ten championship, but will be virtually assured of the No. 1 BCS ranking and be invited to the National Championship Game. The Wolverines, because the game was close, could also be invited to a rematch for the BCS Championship. The death of Bo Schembechler the day before the game added a somber note to the rivalry game. The game resulted in Jim Tressel's fifth win in six against Lloyd Carr's Michigan teams as the Buckeyes triumphed over Michigan 42-39. And boy oh boy was that a show from Heisman winning quarterback, Troy Smith. At the end of the year the Heisman candidacy looked like this...
-HEISMAN TROPHY VOTES-
1. Troy Smith, Sr. Ohio State QB (2,540 pts)
2. Darren McFadden, So. Arkansas RB (878 pts)
3. Brady Quinn, Sr. Notre Dame QB (782 pts)
4. Steve Slaton So. West Virginia RB (214 pts)
5. Mike Hart, Jr. Michigan RB (210 pts)
Such a solid Heisman race. The spread votes for Troy Smith were just to overwhelming for either explosive sophomore RB Darren McFadden, or the precision passing senior out of Notre Dame.
We saw the emergence of teams like Boise State who finished the season as the only undefeated team, 13-0. The Broncos finished ranked 5th on the back of running back Ian Johnson and quarterback Jared Zabransky, AND WHO COULD FORGET THE STATUE OF LIBERTY PLAY!! Not to mention our first taste of Florida Gator QB, Tim Tebow. With so many teams finishing the season with just one or two close game blemishes on their schedule, this could've been anyone's season. So close that the final standing looked like this...
-FINAL STANDINGS 2006-
1. Florida (131)
2. Ohio State (12–1)
3. LSU (11-2)
4. USC (11–2)
5. Boise State (13-0)
6. Louisville (12-1)
7. Wisconsin (12–1)
8. Michigan (11–2)
9. Auburn (11–2)
10. West Virginia (11-2)
11. Oklahoma (11-3)
12. Rutgers (11-2)
13. Texas (10-3)
14. California (10–3)
15. Arkansas (10–4)
16. BYU (11-2)
17. Notre Dame (10-3)
18. Wake Forest (11-3)
19. Virginia Tech (10-3)
20. Boston College (10-3)
21. Oregon State (10-4)
22. TCU (11-2)
23. Georgia (9-4)
24. Penn State (9–4)
25. Tennessee (9-4)
Some of these teams were just minutes if not seconds away from victory to improve their records. like the before mentioned OSU-MICH game (a classic). The late season Rutgers-WVU game that ended only after a triple overtime thriller 41-39. Sending Louisville instead of Rutgers to Orange Bowl to face off with Wake Forest.
This same year was the year that brought future NFL superstars in the 2007 NFL draft. Which is arguably the best NFL draft of the 21st century. This draft included players that went on to be great, players like...
Lions, Calvin Johnson WR Georgia Tech
Vikings, Adrian Peterson RB Oklahoma
49ers, Patrick Willis LB Ole Miss
Bills, Marshawn Lynch RB California
Jets, Darrelle Revis CB Pittsburgh
Steelers, Lawrence Timmons LB Florida State
Bears, Greg Olsen TE Miami (FL)
Browns, Brady Quinn QB Notre Dame
and those are just players from the first round. In rounds future we have Paul Posluszny from linebacker U, Eric Weddle from Utah, and Steve Smith from USC, to name a few. The story of the draft was how was prospective #1 draft pick Brady Quinn tumbling so far down? After placing third in Heisman voting, shattering most every Notre Dame school passing record (and an NCAA record), first team All-American, and winning both the Maxwell and Johnny Unitas awards... Boy am I rambling, did I mention he's my favorite player of all time? But come on folks, 22nd? REALLY??
But after all that being said, who couldn't agree that this was one of the best college football seasons, EVER? Now, I'm looking for people that will (over time) be willing to help recreate this roster as accurately as we can. So come on boys, this is a team they say is....... is good, well I think were better than them. They cant lick us, so what do you say men?

Speculated overalls compared to rankings should look like this...
ranked 1-2 (99)
ranked 3-5 (97-95)
ranked 8-15 (95-90)
ranked 16-25 (92-88)
teams such as Duke (0-12), Syracuse (0-8), FIU (0-12), shouldn't be any lower than (70-65) overall.
any team after top 25 teams please create overalls according to end of season record and total offense and defense rankings. We're going to build very accurate rankings!
Any players that made first team All-American should be at least (90+) overall
any players that made second team All-American should be at least (88+) overall
Players that won individual trophies should be (92+), if won multiple trophies overall should reflect that.
-Offensive Trophy Winners (special)-
Heisman Winner: Troy Smith, Ohio State: (99 overall)
Maxwell Award: Brady Quinn, Notre Dame: (98 overall)
-Defensive Trophy Winners (special)-
Bronko Nagurski Trophy: James Laurinaitis, Ohio State: (99 overall)
Chuck Bednarik Award: Paul Posluszny, Penn State: (99 overall)
Thank you to anyone who offers their help in this endeavor! This roster will be great and will play true!
