How many is left? Marshall has four:

Baltimore:...Albert McClellan/Omar Brown

San Francisco......Randy Moss/CJ Spillman

Only two other schools have more alums playing in this years game than Marshall. Woot!

UCF's 2009 and 2010 CUSA Defensive Player of the Year Bruce Miller, is now the starting FB for the San Francisco 49ers.

Former UCF OL Jah Reid, was a starting OL for the Ravens this year but a late season injury caused the Ravens to put him on IR just 2 weeks ago.

It's really only Miami. They have 5 active players. But if you count players who can't be activated for this weeks game, the Miami has 6 and Oregon has 5. Strictly counting players who are currently active or can be activated for next Sunday's game, Miami has 5 and Marshall, Oregon, Ohio State, and a couple others who I can't remember right now have 4.

However, Miami's are mostly huge contributors. Ed Reed, Anquan Boldin, and Frank Gore all come from the '02 team. Ray Lewis is probably the best career in the game. I can't think of who the 5th might be.

Bryant McKinnie, starting Left Tackle for the Ravens.

BTW...I really like Omar Brown and Albert McClellan. Brown was an UFA this summer that played his way onto the practice squad and then the active roster. The kid is always around the ball. If he continues to develop, he could be a real contributor in a couple of years.

McClellan started a number of games early in the year due to injuries and played well. He is following the typical career trajectory of many Raven's line backers (other than Ray Lewis), of gradually working their way onto the starting roster and blossoming into key contributors. We've had 4 or 5 guys in the past 10 years do this. Most notably, Jared Johnson, Danelle Ellerby and Paul Kruger. Some guys are "4 year overnight successes."

ECU has Vonte Leach with the Ravens.

I wonder which school has the most felony convictions? I'm going to go out on a limb and say miami, although their title may be in jeopardy from all of the phenomenal work on penn state's part over the past few years.

Anquan Boldin played for Florida St.

No one from Rice? No "Superb Owls?"

I guess he did. I thought he was on the '02 Miami team for some reason. I wonder who I was thinking of?


Edit: After some quick research I guess I was thinking about Andre Johnson.
