I think the answer for Alabama is pretty obvious.

The 2010 Alabama Crimson Tide backfield:

1. Mark Ingram
2. Trent Richardson
3. Eddie Lacy

Wow, that's 5-6 incredible trios. That 1997 LSU group was nasty. Davis and Hearst together, too.

Man, Dye had some great backs. And Barfield wasted some great backs.

That's a damn good one. Stephens was a criminally underrated player.

I feel like listing McFadden, Jones, and Hillis doesn't give that backfield justice without listing Houston Nutt as well.

1987 Oklahoma State

1. Thurman Thomas
2. Barry Sanders
3. Gerald Hudson

In 1990, Thurman led the AFC in rushing, Barry led the NFC in rushing, Hudson was 2nd in the NCAA in rushing

to be fair, Hudson didn't get a carry that year as a freshman

Agreed... that they accomplished what they did despite having him as the play caller....

There used to be a picture of the 3 of them together but now it's nowhere to be found on the Internet. I'm thinking it's one of those dimension shift things like the Berenstain/Berenstein Bears thing.

Help me find it, interwebs. You are my only hope. It looked similar to this, except maybe up close with their faces:

For Ole Miss I'd probably go with 2000.
.
Deuce McAllister
Joe Gunn
Charles Stackhouse

.. or you could go with '07 or '08 with Brandon Bolden and Dexter McLuster, but those are the only names I truly remember so its not a trio til you add another one of our shitty RB's from those years.

Also I'm sure some older OM fans will go back to the 60's-70's RB's, but TBH I don't really consider them relevant today.
