The obvious choices would be Bama, AU, UGA, Arky IMO, as far as, producing a combination of quality and quantity in RBs.

What is your opinion?

LSU has just as good of an argument as any of those, except prob AU

I think AU is RBU of the SEC

Auburn has produced a ton of good tailbacks in the last quarter century. Bo, Ronnie Brown, Cadillac, Ben Tate, Dyer, Mason, et al.

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.

You counting players or seasons (i.e. counting one player who was a 1,000 yard rusher in three different seasons as three different players)?

Arkansas has had ten 1,000 yard rushers since 2000.

I realize you're probably being a rantard and acting like Arkansas started playing football in 1992 however your numbers are incorrect.

Tennessee would look a lot better on a lot of lists if we didn't go to football hell for the last decade.

I decided to stick to only the original SEC teams because it would take longer to research. If you care to research SWC, Big 8, and ACC/independent history to include Arky, Mizzou, and Cackalacky, be my guest.

Scroll up and you'll see my edited numbers.

If someone wants to add NFL 1000 yard rushers per school, that'd be cool

Arkansas has had eleven 1,000 yard rushers since joining the SEC so your data is faulty.
