re: Best Running Back in SEC History?

In an era in which teams throw the ball a whole lot more and can't focus on the run defense as much. Back then teams passed far less and defense focused more on the run. And Georgia was the epitome of Herschel right, Herschel left, Herschel up the middle. That was basically our entire defense. I haven't looked, but I would be willing to guess that Alabama when Henry played threw for twice as many yards as Georgia did.

So your only argument is that Jake Coker makes Derrick Henry appear better than he really was?

Ok, I'm fine with you making that argument, people need some entertainment in their life.

Again you just repeated what I said. I said they were ranked at the time they played. Isn't that what playing against ranked teams means?

---

No, if they were ranked at the time of the game and not at the end of the season, it means they were over ranked at the time of the game.

If you want to just look at before game rankings, then Alabama played 9 ranked teams. I haven't looked, but I doubt all 9 of them remained ranked by the end of the year.

And again simple English eludes you.

Let me explain it to you another way. back then (If I remember correctly) rankings did not include 25 teams like they do today. It was a top 20. Both Florida and South Carolin ended (after Bowl Games) with 4 losses. Lasts seaosn 4 teams with 4 losses ended up in the top 25.

Let me explain it to you another way. The fact you're over here sweating if a team could have possibly been ranked between #20-#25 pretty much highlights you played a bullshite schedule.
