re: The Top 2 RB's in the SEC named as Doak Walker Semi-Finalist

Leonard comes in at 4 behind a healthy Chubb

As I commented on Larry's blurblet, had Chubb stayed healthy, the possibility of all three finalists being from the SEC would have been excellent.

Collins likely wouldn't have, and won't, make the finalists list, not because he's not a great RB, but because of name recognition. He's on the semi-finalist list, and deservedly so, but I suspect either Elliot or Cook will join Fournette and Henry, assuming both of the latter manage strong finishes to their season. (I don't buy that Fournette is out of the running after just one terrible game and one mediocre game. His overall resume is still extremely impressive. We can argue competition til we're blue in the face, but Fournette racked up a lot of yards in a major conference, and that'll be what people notice when whittling down the list to 3 finalists.)
