It's countdown season.

We're 74 days away from kickoff. Preseason magazines are all over the place and online outlets are releasing so many countdown lists you can't keep up.

SI.com is joining the fun with a countdown of college football's top 100 players. SI has released Nos. 81 through 100 and the first Auburn players has shown up on the list: defensive end Marlon Davidson.

The sophomore comes in at No. 90:

"We’re betting on Davidson’s potential here. The former four-star recruit showed great promise as a true freshman, finishing the season with 38 tackles, six tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. With Carl Lawson gone this fall, Davidson will need to quickly transition from D-line prodigy into an All-SEC caliber force."
