Where does Shedeur Sanders rank? Who has the most social media clout? Which team is most represented? That and more below! As college football grows increasingly transactional in this day and age, identifying bona fide stars on the field has taken on new urgency. In the past, players like Caleb Williams, Baker Mayfield, Lamar Jackson and DeVonta Smith have emerged as the kind of no-doubt superstars that you not only build viewing schedules around, but you build marketing campaigns around. That kind of dual-threat star power, both on and off the field, is more important than ever. What follows is a reflection of who those superstars are right now in college football; a list of 100 players I'd select, in this order, with which to start a college football team. These are the players I'd take to lead and represent my team because they possess the necessary popularity and playmaking ability to earn interest from college football fans across the country. They draw TV viewers, generate NIL dollars, and drive social media trends. They excite hardcore fans, delight wealthy donors and attract blue-chip recruits. They are superstars. If your team does not have a player on this list, your general manager — yes, those exist now in college football — needs to tell you how he's going to fix it. This is paramount. College football represents change, and the competition is chaos. The game itself is played under lights, with a vision of the night sky. If you squint, you can see stars. But a nova, exploding star, a bangarang belly of celestial cosmic charisma and skill, needs not your sight. You will feel its heat on your face, and its glow will bring joy to yours. They are rare. They are few. They are defined by their power and pinnacle. While college football fans clamor to see their school's star players land at the top of NFL Draft boards, this is not that. This is the list that represents change and where the sport is going. This is the list that college players themselves will now strive to be on. This is the list of players who move the sport at a moment in time when college football resembles the NFL more than ever. This list is as much a Rorschach Test as it is a ranking. If you're moved to glee or gloom, take note of it. And then ask yourself why. With that, here is a look at who I believe to be the top 100 superstars heading into the 2024 college football season.
