I didn't realize piling up stats against shitty opponents makes a guy a Top 5 SEC running back.
He had 17 carries for 75 yards. VTs RB only had 3 more and had 132 yards averaging 2 more YPC, so it's not outside the realm of possibility to rush against a team "loading the box". The rankings are fluid, but as of this week, Yeldon didn't make much happen and isn't on the list. I'm sure he'll be on there moving forward.

I agree, but not giving him any consideration on a list that says Top 5 SEC RB's is just dumb.
Trent had a terrible first game against Kent State a few years ago to start the season, but I don't think anyone would have possible left him off of this sort of list.
My main point is if we are going to use stats for this season then I can completely understand leaving him off. If you are going to include a subjective view to this list though leaving him off is just dumb. It is hard to put up a ton of stats when you are getting hit in the backfield nearly every play.

I don't have a problem with Yeldon not being mentioned for the first week.
