[NJ-Buckeye]

no way... all three deserve every vote.. these were three fine players

 

[BuckeyeKid789]

I went with Bentley.

 

[OSUBuckeye4Life]

Bently gets this one.

 

[RLC65]

Bently is a proven quality, also at the next level...Mangold has the tools and may cause us to rethink 5 years down the road.

Go Bucks!

This is the toughest vote of them all. I'm abstaining for now.

Bentley has already been a 2 time pro-bowler. Gotta go with him.

I think people are choosing based on pro success also.

The player's pro career should not factor into this at all. It should be what they did at OSU, not in the pros.

But still, I know Bentley was the best of the three. But I'm not letting pro success factor into that decision.

Wow this was a tough one, but I went with Bentley.

Don't worry how others decide.

Bentley won consensus All-America honors and received the Rimington Award as the best center in college football, Stepanovich and Mangold didn't. I'd happily take any as my college center, but given a choice it would be Bentley.

 

[NFBuck]

Bentley was one of the best centers I've ever seen, and he's only improved on that in the pros. Easy choice.

 

[OSUBasketballJunkie]

Bentley hands down.

 

[NJ-Buckeye]

anyone know whether Bentley made the line calls?

 

[NJ-Buckeye]

this is a definite case in which... if you took any TWO OFF the board... I would be thrilled out of my gord to have the remaining one

Nick Mangold i say because he has had an amazing year. I dont remember much of Bentley. And Alex did help us in the NC year. So I like Mangold the best though just because of his career at OSU.
