Not a bad list, but I can't help but think leaving Jeremy Hill out is a sorry effort to troll.

I would possibly be okay with Gurley and Collins as your backs, but there's really no way Hill is the 4th best back in the SEC.

Would also nominate Ego Ferguson (DT), Odell Beckham Jr. (WR), and Zach Mettenberger (QB). They're playing at an all-conference level, but there are better cases to be made. They're worth a nomination at least.

I didn't put Gurley in there either... no attempt to troll.

Also, Beckham was on the last list and would have made this list again instead of Landry, but Landry made the majority of the plays yesterday.

You've probably got the best WR tandem in the country, and possibly the best stable of backs, but as far as the individually best players, you should be happy with Landry in there, and Beckham only being beat out by Evans.

Yeah, I don't have any beef with Ferguson, Beckham Jr. and Mettenberger being left off. I think both our WRs are better than Mike Evans, but it's damn hard to argue with Evans being on there so far, and I won't. Mettenberger could go up there, as could three other QBs, so it's not an issue. And Ferguson hasn't done anything that makes him a must-have on the list.

Case for Hill:
* Twice as many TDs as Alex Collins on 2/3rds of the carries
* Effectively the same YPG as Collins (10 ypg fewer) and a full extra yard per carry (6.9 vs 6.0)
* Leads the SEC in both TDs (tied with Malena at 7) and TDs/gm (7 TDs in 4 games vs 5 for Malena)
