I realize this is somewhat a troll thread, but for any who want a serious answer to that, of course Leonard Fournette is a Top 10 back in the SEC.
In career rushing yards, LF is 12th, but only 6 yards from 10th. So I made a chart to compare him to the other 11 ahead of him.

Sorry for the formatting that is a rough deal on here.
Fournette has a similar number of games played compared to Emmitt/Walker and a similar amount of carries compared to Bo Jackson, so he can't be disqualified as a career top 10 back based on low totals of career games or carries.
Fournette ranks very high in yards per game (4th behind Walker, Emmitt, McFadden), yards per carry (2nd behind Bo Jackson), TDs per game (2nd behind Walker) and TDs per carry (2nd behind Bo Jackson).
You can troll about his bad Bama games if you want, but Walker, Bo, McFadden, and all the rest had a bad game or two in important games as well. From a career standpoint there is no logical argument against Fournette being a top 10 SEC back. Top 5 to be honest.
