5-at-10: Bowl picks and our ESPN favorites

We’re still in vacation mode here at the 5-at-10, so that means another top-five list, which is cool by us. Question: Are we the only ones addicted to list shows, even to the possible risk of the Mrs. 5-at-10’s sanity? Normal TV is blah, but if you put a countdown on it or say the “Best of (blank)” we’re so in. So it goes.

Two things before we get to today’s top five – first, we’ll have the bowl contest standings in Monday’s 5-at-10; second, don’t forget Friday’s mailbag.

Top 5 ESPN personalities

We’re not as down on the Worldwide Leader as some of our colleagues, but we have our favorites. And not surprisingly, two of ours are draft experts. (We love the draft; you know this.)

1) Mel Kiper Jr.

2) Jay Bilas
