I'd put arky and UGA both at 1a and 1b. Both have a deep stable and both have quality lines. I think both will do equally well this year in the run game

When the smoke clears LSU will have the best backfield in 2015.

People should avoid putting out list if they don't take the time to do them properly. No way in hell Florida has the worst running game in the SEC.

Is a crapshoot. Lots of talent in all of those backfields.

They also added Jordan Scarlett who has a ton of talent. I know they have sucked on offense but their running game should be very solid next year.

Bammer being 3rd on the list is shite anyway. The only running backs they even have healthy as far as I know are Kenyan Drake, Derrick Henry, and Damien Harris

I bet Auburn has more success running the ball. Anybody who judges running backs entirely based on experience is a fricking retard. It has been proven over and over again that newcomers can have a big impact at running back.

You're joking right?

Yes but I need to see more out of UGA's other RBs. Arky's are really a tandem whereas UGA, for now, is Nick Chubb. Granted, he's likely the top RB returning this year but I haven't seen Michel or Marshall step up. If Marshall ever gets back to normal then those are the top tandems. But I'd divide you into: Arky no. 1 tandem and UGA no. 1 RB.

As to the rest of the list... Derrick Henry needs to play this year like it's now or never. He's very good but he can be better. I'd like to see the same fire out of him consistently that he displayed against OU. Just not against us - ever.

I personally think Nick Chubb is the best RB in the SEC. Overall the backfields of LSU, Bama, Georgia and the Hogs are pretty similar in talent.

Is this your way of deflecting from auburn not having a ton of experience at RB this year?

Anecdotal evidence is present wherever you want to look for it.

Kenyan Drake and Derrick Henry are about as good as any two deep in the conference. I wouldn't be surprised if a JUCO guy and a dude with 43 carries in 2014 end up having good years, but I would rather roll the dice with guys who have proven more.
