Lions among the "top 10"

Here's yet another list to get Penn State fans fired up.

This time it's SI.com ranking the Big Ten's top 10 football players for the upcoming season. Certainly, Nittany Lion fans will take exception of one omission (no linebacker Navorro Bowman) -- and the positioning of a couple of other players.

Coming in at No. 10 is tailback Evan Royster, the Big Ten's leading returning rusher and the only running back on the list. And the Big Ten's top returning quarterback, Daryll Clark, managed only a No. 6 spot.

He is behind a defensive end from Northwestern, teammate and linebacker Sean Lee (No. 4), Michigan State linebacker Greg Jones and Illinois receiver Arrelious Benn.

And, of course, he's also behind the top pick on the list, Ohio State sophomore QB Terrelle Pryor.
