Bama definitely has the edge right now. Hill was better (barely) than Yeldon. Magee is equivalent to Drake, and while Henry had a nice game to end the season, he got more than 42% of his season's yards in 1 game, but was still pretty beastly.
LSU will be a step behind to start for sure with the unknown of Fournette, but Bama's not as far ahead as some may think.
Georgia is clearly the best 1-2 punch in the SEC and college football, and there is no questions about it right now. I think their depth is to be determined, but between LSU, Bama, UGA and Arky, there is some sick RB talent at all schools.

UGA 's minions about cried when I told them their backs had injury issues. Gurley might be the most talented but was clearly not healthy all last year and we will have to see how Marshall has recovered,or how he has not.

From what I read Marshall may not be fully healthy by the start of next season so it's probably hard to have us at the top of the rankings. I'm shocked we weren't top 10, especially with Texas number 6, but hopefully the guys will prove it on the field this season. I think Bama has 5 stud running backs, but Yeldon and Drake are fumble prone, and Henry had one good game against a bad Oklahoma run defense (but I still think he will be a beast). I guess this is what the offseason is for though. Complaining about how our team will perform when nobody knows for sure.

As others said, it wasn't like it was some collection of injuries. It was a tough injury, and he was fine the year before. I think you put too much weight onto these injuries, but Marshall's ACL could be more significant. LSU fans saw first hand how much it affected Alfred Blue's abilities this past season following an ACL tear.
In the end, I think it will be interesting to see how things turn out, but fans of Auburn are really overselling themselves. Tre Mason was a major loss for them, and while their RB's are talented, being a 4* or even 5* doesn't guarantee anything. Hilliard is a 4*/5* and while he had a solid freshman campaign, has struggled since. Michael Ford was a 5* and struggled to get on the field. Talent alone doesn't make you great, and neither do flawed recruiting rankings.

Hill was leagues ahead of Yeldon
Only RB in the SEC that was on his level was Gurley. I'd rank UGA 1st and Bama 2nd as far as the RB unit goes.. Can we discuss CB as a unit?

Wasn't "leagues" ahead but was way better last season.

I think "leagues" means way better.

None were as good as Heisman candidate Tre Mason.

I mean, it's clearly a solid stable of backs. So I don't see it as much of a controversial thing to say. However, there are likely a number of backfields that are more top heavy. Georgia comes to mind. I'm not saying shite about LSU until I actually see Fournette in college. But Gurley is obviously the truth.
I don't really know shite about backfields outside of the conference though tbh.
