A Dream Team

The website Pro Football Focus (PFF) has recently turned it's intense focus on college football. As their name suggests they've been handling the NFL for several years. PFF grades every play of every player. They take the time to look at all of the the action on every football field. It's extensive, tedious work by a lot of dedicated people. It's not a perfect grading system but it's remarkable one. It's even more remarkable that PFF has turned their focus to college football. That's a lot of football. A lot more football.

Here's PFF's College Dream Team heading into Week 11. The best players at each position based on their grading.
