Wiscy has 3 too IIRC

ESPN didn't think much of LSU.
Had the Tigers ranked around 13th in the RBU rankings in 2014.

Auburn hasn't had a consensus All American RB since 2000. Not one single award winner at RB either.

Auburn hasn’t been as flashy as its in-state rival -- the Tigers don’t have a single award winner or consensus All-American in the 2000s

Well they were obviously wrong about that. You had Gurley and Chubb both on the same team. And that wasn't even considering Marshall or Michel.

yeah, until chaney proves he can get georgia clicking in any area offensively
Good luck with that, I don't see him lasting more than 2 seasons at UGA. He's got SEC experience but made our offense look turrible with his shitty playcalling and under development. The difference in even one year after he left is night and day, I often wonder how he landed the job at UGA.
BTW this post isn't aimed at you flowsion, obviously you have some doubts too.

Lance Alworth was great in college and became even greater(as a receiver) in the pros. (HoF)
LSU hasn't laid any claim to RBU that I've heard, however, barring something unforeseen, at the end of next season they will claim 4 of the top 8 rushers in SEC history. That's pretty damn good. Florida would be next with 2 of the top 10.

The concept of RBU is the schools that "graduate" the most pro level talent. The purpose of any university is to groom students for their future crafts, right? Anyway, far as the McFadden comment goes. He had far less yards, touchdowns, and carries than Adrian Peterson. His 4.6 yards a carry did destroy Peterson's 4.5 yards a carry.

Someone seems to be unable to grasp the "U" part of "RBU".

Seems like the third one would be the reason for the first two

Nah, McFadden is too brittle to last an entire year. He's never had a nose for the end zone in the pros and with more carries he may have lost or gained in ypc, that part we may never know.

When has arkansas not had good running backs?i think that is what this is about.
Posted on 2/20/16 at 1:16 am to Hawgeye
Hmmmm....not sure I agree with this list. OU would have to be at the top. Nebraska and UT have had some pretty good runners.
I literally know of one great back from Okie St. Now he was arguably the best ever but does he alone justify them this high? shite if thats the case, what about Syracuse?
WTF with Oregon at 6?!? Ahead of OSU?
I'd also agree no Georgia is confusing.
