In terms of one man teams, I think Leonard Fournette edges out Cam Newton as best the SEC ever saw.

I wouldn't go that far, not now or ever (though mostly because of the position). I'm not saying Cam Newton is the best college player of all time, but what I am saying is that Cam Newton in the right offense would bring 90% of FBS teams to the playoffs.

I'm not even saying he's the best college player (Andrew Luck was a better college QB); I'm saying that he's the best one man team I think college football will ever see, at least in my lifetime. Cam Newton playing for Vanderbilt would immediately make them a favorite to play for a NC.


However, the fact that LF can be a "one man team" at the RB position is unreal. And if he continues what he's doing then he will far surpass AP and join the Herschel and Bo in the "who was better" debate. And he'd probably win. But that's a long ways off, and I don't think that will happen.
