Being among the best teams in college football requires a healthy dose of star power, those well-known players everyone can identify. But just as important, if not more so, are the ones who operate outside of the spotlight yet still have a major impact on a team's performance.

These are the players you wouldn't normally mention first, second or even third when discussing a team's best assets.

It's not meant to be a slight against them but rather an indication that they've flown under the radar to this point and haven't caught everyone's attention.
