I'd give the edge to Auburn because of ridiculous consistency from at least Bo to the present (save a few years here and there).

Alabama has competed well for that title recently.

I think LSU is behind them.

Arkansas? I know they had an all-time great in McFadden, but I don't think they come close in this conversation. Am I missing something about them?

ETA: Not necessarily recently, but yes UT has been up there in the RB department as well, particularly during the Fulmer years.

I think WR U has to go to LSU in recent years, though it used to be UT. LSU always seems to have some huge fast guys who get open for long yards.

Just before Bo, in the late 1970's, there were William Andrews (4 Pro Bowls), Joe Cribbs (1980 AFC Rookie of the Year, 3 Pro Bowls), and James Brooks (4 Pro Bowls).

I think it was the 1978 season that Andrews was the FB and Cribbs and Brooks were the HBs in Barfield's veer offense.
