First and 10: Asmussen's 10 choices for the 2020 College Football Hall of Fame class

Our college football writer ranks his choices for the College Football Hall of Fame Class of 2020. Ballots are due Friday:

1. Simeon Rice, Illinois

OK, I am a bit biased. I was there when he went third in the 1996 NFL draft to the Cardinals. I also saw him dominate for four years, piling up sack (441 / 2) and tackles for loss (69) records that will never be broken. I realize Dana Howard just got picked, but Rice should be in, too.

2. Eric Dickerson, SMU

Why is he not already enshrined?
