The top 300 most impactful players after Week 9

Here are our updated rankings of the 300 most impactful players in college football.

This is not a NFL draft hot board nor simply a list of the 300 most talented players. Talent certainly is considered, but there are numerous variables and an emphasis is placed on players having the most notable on-field impact; that is one reason it is skill position-heavy. The rankings are fluid and change weekly.

One note: Injured players are not listed.

The rankings are done by On3’s Mike Huguenin, Charles Power and Matt Zenitz.
