With Mark Schlabachs most recent Way-Too-Early Top 25 rankings as our guide, we have ranked everything from the weakest position groups to stand-up comedians. This week, we look at which players would get the call with the game on the line and the ball on the 1-yard line.1.?Alabama Crimson Tide Bo ScarbroughOf course you want the 6-foot-2, 230-pound Bo Scarbrough?going over the top, but the real question for Alabama is who will be his lead blocker? Continuing what has become a tradition of unique goal-line fullbacks that includes Jesse Williams and AShawn Robinson, dont be surprised if defensive tackle DaRon Payne, who is a rather nimble 319 pounds, takes the field in the Tides jumbo package. -- Alex Scarborough2. Clemson Tigers Jordan LeggettOdds are Dabo Swinney would make the call for Deshaun Watson. After all, how do you put the game in the hands of anyone other than your Heisman contender? But who would Watson look to if he decides to throw? Chalk this one up for tight end Jordan Leggett, who had a touchdown in five straight games at one point last season, finished the year with eight scores and was a finalist for the Mackey Award. --?David M. Hale3.?Michigan WolverinesJake ButtMaybe its a bit unorthodox, but since when has that bothered Jim Harbaugh? The big, strong, athletic senior is one of the most valuable players on the roster, and Butt is surely more than capable of shifting from tight end, taking a handoff and bulldozing his way to the end zone. -- Austin Ward4.?Florida State Seminoles Dalvin CookFlorida State was poor in short-yardage situations but through no fault of Cook. The junior has the wiggle and power to score at the goal line. A quarterback sneak might be effective with the bigger Sean Maguire, but with that position unsettled, its best just to turn it over to the Heisman candidate. --?Jared Shanker5. Oklahoma SoonersSamaje Perine Nobody in crimson and cream would think twice about putting the ball in the hands of Baker Mayfield in this situation. But that didnt work out so well for Pete Carroll. So its pretty simple: Tell Mayfield to put the ball in the arms of Perine, and let the 235-pound running back do the rest. -- Brandon Chatmon6. LSU TigersLeonard FournetteFor all his impressive stats last season, Fournette struggled in short-yardage situations. On runs on which he needed between 1 and 3 yards to convert, Fournette was successful just 52.9 percent of the time -- well below the Power 5 average of 66.9 -- according to ESPN Stats & Information. However, when you have the countrys most dynamic running back in your backfield, you give him the ball and take your chances. -- David Ching7. Stanford Cardinal Daniel Marx David Shaw had a favorite for this job last season, and it wasnt Christian McCaffrey. Remound Wright earned a heavy load at the goal line, so the Cardinal must replace his short yardage wizardry that led to 13 touchdowns. At 6-foot-2, 240 pounds, Marx is a throwback fullback built like a bowling ball. -- David Lombardi8. Notre Dame Fighting Irish Malik ZaireIn limited action, the world has gotten a glimpse of what Zaire is capable of. He is a unique, dual-threat lefty who might be as strong as he is speedy. Its no wonder the 225-pounder is the ultimate Irish trump card come red zone scenarios, and he is a great option to have at the goal line. -- Matt Fortuna9.?Ohio State Buckeyes J.T. BarrettThe junior quarterback started winning his job back last season, thanks in part to his willingness to come in as a red zone finisher. Even if Mike Weber and the young Buckeyes taking over in the backfield emerge to fill Ezekiel Elliotts shoes, with the game on the line, Barrett isnt likely to be denied. -- Ward10. Tennessee Volunteers Kahlil McKenzieYeah, Joshua Dobbs or Jalen Hurd would be the obvious offensive options at the 1-yard line, but if the game is on the line and you need a big
