Shocking that Hampton's just a nominee

Looking over the College Football Hall of Fame ballot, it was shocking to see the names of so many who should have been inducted already, and right at the top was Dan Hampton.

Hampton had a great career at the University of Arkansas before having a great career with the Chicago Bears.

This ballot is all about college play, and Hampton, who is from Jacksonville, was one of the all-time best at the level while helping the Razorbacks beat No. 2 Oklahoma in the 1978 Orange Bowl.

If Hampton, who wasn't nominated until 2016 (another great oversight), was already in, that probably would improve the odds for Brandon Burlsworth, or vice versa.
