today's college sports links: Denard Robinson ranked 2011's most explosive player by Rivals.com; Vacation from coaching might be good for Rich Rodriguez and more

Olin Buchanan of Rivals.com, released his rankings of the 10 most explosive players in college football heading into the 2011 season.

Ranked No. 1? The Michigan football team's dual-threat quarterback Denard Robinson.

Writes Buchanan, "Robinson is like a time bomb. Sooner or later, he's going to explode. Each time Robinson tucks the football, opposing fans hold their breath because he always seems one step away from making a big play."

The only other Big Ten player in Buchanan's top-10 is one similar to Robinson, Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez (No. 7), who will make his Big Ten debut with the Cornhuskers in 2011.
