Not saying LSU is RBU but they did have 3 of the 4 starting running backs in Saturday wildcard weekend. JS

There's only one SEC school that I'm aware of that has had two NFL Hall of Fame RBs - Steve Van Buren and Jim Taylor, AND two CFB HOF RBs - Billy Cannon and Charles Alexander.
Then you got Dalton Hilliard,
Harvey Williams, Kevin Faulk, Jeremy Hill and of course Leonard F. Guice and White show great future potential....

Arkansas has had their share as has Auburn


Arkansas isn't even in the same league as Auburn here. Arkansas is at BEST 4th place for RBU in just he SEC. And if they're 4th, then it's a very wide gap between 3 and 4.

Arkansas's best running back ever has been an NFL bust, but yet they are RBU?

Makes sense.

Hell, I would argue that McFadden's career has been equivalent to Hillis's career.

Player A:
99 Games Played
4.2 YPC
28 Rushing TD's
0 Madden Covers

Player B
81 Games Played
4.1 YPC
23 Rushing TD's
1 Madden Cover

If it wasn't for the Madden Curse, Player B (aka Peyton Hillis) would probably still be in the league and be continuing to carry the Arkansas "RBU" label on his back.

Why do people bring up the NFL when the U in RBU stands for University? Makes no sense. Besides, McFadden finished 4th in the league in rushing and had a higher YPC than Adrian Peterson last year.

We led the SEC in rushing like 8/10 years under Nutt.

UGA, FSU, Wisky, Oregon, Mich. ST., and PITT had at least 2 RB's to start games last year in the NFL.

LSU, Bama, and Cal had 3.

So no.

Because NFL success is damn near the only factor when declaring a university as QBU, DBU, RBU, WRU, etc.
