If you're an insider, you can read the rest of the article and tell us how the rest of the rankings look. I just knew the SEC Rant would love to hear about how great Alabama's running backs are.

1. Alabama running backs
The Sugar Bowl was widely forgettable in the Crimson Tide’s recent run of success, but the prideful legion of fans could at least take away that the already strong running back position got even stronger with freshman Derrick Henry’s nine-touch, 161-yard, two-touchdown performance.
Put Henry’s size and speed with similarly gifted runners T.J. Yeldon and Kenyan Drake and you have the No. 1 position group in college football.
If there’s such a thing as a quiet 1,200-yard, 14-TD season, Yeldon had it as a sophomore. Drake added 700 yards and eight scores. Henry was seldom used until the bowl.

Surely, this will garner a positive response on the SECRant. All things Alabama are thoroughly enjoyed and welcome.

Does the rest of the article address Yeldon's fumble isues and Drake's attitude?

That can't be. They don't even have the best RBs in the conference.

Misleading title.
Travis Haney ranks Alabama RBs as the best position group in America. In his blog.

I'd say toss-up between bama and LSU. However, no one has truly seen LSU's Fournette (sp?) actually play a CFB down yet. He could blow arse, he could be amazing. Who knows.

Looks like a pretty solid list to me.
I upvoted this thread.

Just saw the top ten on the mainboard and I don't even feel like posting it it was so awful. ND's Qbs are in the rankings. What the fricking frick?

Article has Georgia as the runner up for RBs and has LSU runner up for DBs...
Hmm, good DBs vs a backup QB
