re: The SEC RB Pantheon

In the "modern" age (post integration, scholly limits) I agree that Bo and Herschel were the two best. I think D Mac is a clear #3. He was amazing to watch, had fantastic numbers, and could very well have won the Heisman. IMO those three guys all have spots in the pantheon. If Arkansas had won an SEC championship I think he would more often make it a conversation of who is the fourth best after those three guys. The fact that he didn't do much in the NFL also hurts, even though this is about college careers.

Faulk, Smith, and Shaun Alexander are IMO, the next level down, and I wouldn't argue with any of them being in there (as long as the top 3 were also included). After that you get guys like Cadillac and Mark Ingram. Fantastic players in college, but not transcendent.
