8. Baylor
7. Oregon
6. Georgia
5. FSU
4. Tennessee
3. Oklahoma
2. Stanford
1. LSU
On my phone and it wouldn't copy paste the description for UT and LSU

If the Dawgs RBs are 100 percent, this group probably is a few spots higher. Nick Chubb is a fantastic talent. He essentially ran for 747 yards in five games last fall after rushing for 1,547 in his rookie season. The 5-10, 220-pounder has great feet and vision, but he is coming off a devastating knee injury. Sony Michel, a terrific change-up back, is coming back from a fractured forearm. He ran for 1,181 yards and eight TDs and also caught 26 passes. Senior Brendan Douglas (745 career rushing yards) is reliable and can pick up the slack in a pinch but doesn’t scare defenses the way the two guys ahead of him do.

I agree with LSU at #1. Not really sure after that.

Leonard Fournette rushed for 1,953 yards and 22 touchdowns as a sophomore, gaining 6.5 yards per attempt, but averaged a full four yards per carry AFTER contact, according to Pro Football Focus. His 85 broken tackles led the country. He is a bruising back who rag-dolls defenders (just ask Auburn), but he also has sprinter’s speed to go the distance. He had seven runs of 40 yards or longer last season, and he’ll be even faster this fall since he’s trimmed down to 228 and is running a 4.42 40 now. His coaches also rave about his leadership. He’s my pick to win the Heisman Trophy this year.
Behind him, the Tigers have 222-pound sophomore Derrius Guice, who ran for 436 yards last season and averaged a gaudy 8.5 yards a carry. Darrel Williams, a 232-pounder, has run for almost 600 yards in his first two college seasons, and Nick Brossette, another former blue-chip RB recruit, provides strong depth behind those two. J.D. Moore, a 6-foot-4, 238-pounder who runs a 4.67 40, is a quality fullback who helped pave the way for Fournette for half of last season until being lost for the rest of the season an injury. Moore’s back, and that’s very good news for LSU.

Here you go.

Who does FSU have besides Cook? Cook is a monster and all, but I don't know who else they have? The same thing with Stanford, who do they have beside McCaffery? I don't want to be that homer guy, but LSU, Georgia and Tennessee are easily top 4 and I'd put Oklahoma 2nd at lowest. They can surely make an argument for the top spot as well. I know my opinion is skewed because I see way more SEC football, but still.

would have thought UGA would have been higher

There are so many awesome RBs across the country this year

Packages ain't big enough to be ranked ahead of Hurd and Kamara. That is embarrassingly small for the supposed top RB unit.

I enjoyed it

Who does Stanford and Florida State have besides McCaffrey and Cook?

Feldman loves LSU, especially this year.

They both have talented sophomores, but other than that it's a lot of meh.

8. Baylor
Easily top 10 before the meltdown. They were probably the most underrated rushing offense in the country last year.

7. Oregon
Freeman is a stud.
1-6 are interchangeable, IMO. Lots of talent and depth on every team in that group.

Auburn should at least get honorable mention with Jovon Robins.....oh wait.....never mind.

Helps to read the article. The Patrick guy is a stud. But anyway, Bama not being on this list is a joke. Its pretty much a given that every year someone (BoScar) steps up and runs wild.

At the end of the year, UGA will be no. 1. Bookmark it.
