The poll (of about 200 sportswriters) came out just before the June 1970 Coaches All America game:

1. O.J. Simpson
2. Tommy Nobis
3. Leroy Keyes
4. Roger Staubach
5. George Webster

Another (preliminary) poll of roughly 100 coaches, AD's and SID's had the balloting this way:

1. O.J. Simpson
2. Gale Sayers
3. Archie Manning
4. Bob Anderson
5. George Webster
