I have never heard of bama referred to as "RBU". Can you say the same about Auburn?
Outside of Auburn fans? Yes, I can say the same.

Who has Arkansas had that's been impressive outside of McFadden?
As college backs Felix Jones, Peyton Hillis, Kniles Davis and Alex Collins were pretty good players.
Felix Jones - 2006 1st team all-SEC, 2007 All-American
Kniles Davis - 2010 1st team all-SEC

So those players make Arkansas RBU?

Im curious why you only included certain RBs for each year...is it because you knew it would drop the YPC?
I thought the best 10 seasons by a running back over the last 10 years was a good measure.

Everybody knew he was getting the ball and he still went for 150 vs Bama
Yeah, that's not true. No one knew who was getting the ball against Auburn. I believe the QB had quite a few rushing yards in that game as well.

Which school has produced the most Heisman RBs over the last 10 years?

10 years is a nice round number.
No, 10 years allows you to include McFadden and Felix Jones, who comprise 40% of your seasons.
That's why you chose 10 years, and not 5, like a normal person would.

Why would you choose only 5 years? That limits many schools to just 2-3 RBs.

5 years is hardly better than 10. If you want to have a true RBU discussion, you start at integration of the South.
ETA: 5 years is no better than 10, actually. It's just the number most people would choose because it's easier. It's clear why the OP chose 10 years. Without 2006 & 2007, Arkansas isn't even in the discussion.

UGA is RBU. Not up for debate.
Posted on 2/23/16 at 8:45 am to Jon Ham
RBU is also 7-6U

No one wants to post their team's #'s because they know or are afraid Arkansas will beat them. When it comes to the last decade, Arkansas has a legit claim to RBU and this thread proves it.

Darren McFadden- 1,113 yards
Darren McFadden- 1,647 yards
Felix Jones- 1,168 yards

I mean, I don't think so, but they were pretty good players.
I think the school with 2 Heisman running backs and 3 other All-SEC/All-Americans over the last 8 years is probably RBU, but what do I know.

News to me.
In all the years of being a conference, the SEC had only produced one running back that had run for a thousand yards in each of his first three seasons in the SEC.
Arkansas has produced two since 2005.

I'm not surprised.

So, since a 9 or 10 year window is the only way Arkansas can be in the discussion, this is now the new criteria?
