The schools that have the lowest rated "best player" are:

Connecticut: Will Beatty has a 30 score

Army: Bob Mischak has a 32 score

South Florida: Anthony Henry has 39 score

Houston: Simon Fletcher has a 62 score

Cincinnati: Trent Cole has a 67 score

 

From the actual power 5, Vanderbilt with Jay Cutler has the lowest best player score with 76....but he will add to that. Chris Hinton of Northwestern has the lower score for a P5 retired player.

Alan Page over Joe Montana from Notre Dame? I don't think so.

 

And Tomlinson over Sligin' Sammy Baugh from TCU? Nah.

 

And A&M's Richmond Webb should be in the HOF for 7 consecutive Pro Bowls, but so should an even better player, 5 time Pro bowler and 2 time Superbowl winning Lester Hayes, one of the best shut down corners ever when he won with the Raiders. No one in their right mind threw his way just like they try to avoid Richard Sherman now.

PFR measures productivy, not necessarily "best". The "Weighted PFR" is more about a sustained career peak.

 

I dont think Oklahoma thinks of Troy Aikman as one of their own since he left and starred at UCLA.
