ESPN recently debuted an ongoing series titled <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/columns/story?columnist=maisel_ivan&id=2500688" rel="external">By The Numbers</a>. Ivan Maisel, he of the majorly southern drawwwll, has been picking the best college players ever to wear each number.

Not only was passed over he wasn't even the first listed under "Honorable Mention". ESPN's little blurb about why Baugh over Griffin is less than convincing. I also think Chic Harley was glossed over and, conversely, Mike Doss has no business being mentioned at all.<br /><br /><strong>The Buckeye Representatives:</strong><br />27 : Eddie George <br />31 : Vic Janowicz <br />40 : Howard Cassady <br />46 : Bob Ferguson <br />53 : Randy Gradishar <br />62 : Jim Parker <br />68 : Jim Stillwagon <br />74 : John Hicks <br />75 : Orlando Pace<br /><br />Check out ESPN.com for their entire selections.
