Rushing TDs doesn’t tell the story
It does, actually.
In the SEC, chart the number of rushing TDs for the champion each year. It is obviously the winning ingredient (auburn fans are too stupid to even recognize their own successes in the conference... typical).
There is another side of the ball, though. And in the same vein, stopping the rushing TD is important.
Great teams do both.

The key to winning in this league is controlling the LOS on both sides of the ball. Everything else generally falls into place if you can do that. But yes, you have to be able to run the ball in this league to win. There has yet to be a conference champion that didn’t have a good, mostly great, running game. Plenty of teams in this league won NCs with average QB play: Tennessee 1998, LSU 2003, Florida 2006, LSU 2007, Alabama 2009, Alabama 2015. That’s not to say these teams had bad QBs but they didn’t have QBs that carried their teams either. What all these teams had in common were good lines on both sides of the ball, strong running games, and good defenses.
