Scouting the ‘10-‘11 bowls - pt. 6 (Jan. 7th-10th)

Let’s wrap this up and get to the good stuff.

(NOTE: Draft stock reflects where players would be drafted were they to come out for this year’s draft. Obviously, there are “risers” who would be late picks this year that could come on for their senior years, but that’s not the intent here. It’s just to give you names to look out for over the next few weeks. Non-eligible prospects won’t have a round grade. Potential first or second round picks regardless of class are in bold. BCS games are underlined out of disdain for the BCS.)
