LaMichael James

School: Oregon

Position: Running Back

BCS Game: Rose Bowl, Jan. 2 (5 ET)

"He’s a kid that is coming out early and going to the NFL next year. He’s a breakaway runner. Wisconsin has a great defense but lacks a little speed at all the positions, and he has a ton of speed. He can run and make great plays out of the backfield. He’s got extra incentives, because it’s his last game."

"He is a tall, rangy guy that can fly and he will be very exciting against Stanford’s defense. He’s got great speed and is a tremendous athlete."

"He’s an all-around quarterback and he can do it all. He’s one of the most exciting quarterbacks in all of America. I think you’ll find him to be a great player to watch. He’s a triple threat."

Sammy Watkins

School: Clemson

Position: Wide Receiver

BCS Game: Discover Orange Bowl, Jan. 4 (8:30 ET)

"He’s a young freshman receiver and return man. He makes tremendous big plays. He’s probably the most outstanding freshman in America and he’ll be sensational. He’s a tremendous long-ball hitter, a great big-play man. He'll put up 60-, 70-, 80-yard plays."

Jordan Jefferson

School: LSU

Position: Quarterback

BCS Game: Allstate BCS National Championship, Jan. 9 (8:30 ET)

"What sets him apart is that he can run the option, which is a really big play for LSU against Alabama. Therefore, that’s what will make him the big star. That’s the one play that is the great equalizer. When you play man-to-man on pass defense, that’s the best play against it, because you get no support from the back. It was a good play in the first game, and it’ll be an even bigger play in the second game."
