To help pick the top offensive triplets in each of the Power 5 leagues, we devised a simple formula. We ranked the quarterbacks, running backs and receivers and assigned a 14 to the No. 1 player, with the point total decreasing to just one point to the No. 14 ranked player at each position. Only one player from each team was ranked per position.

Auburn's offense is going to be fun to watch with Johnson, Thomas, and Williams.

I would say Alabama has a lot of unproven starters at this point, that's why they're so low. Ardarius Stewart, Cris Black, and Robert Foster is a very talented group, just haven't proven anything yet. Coker the same. The only ones who have are Henry and Drake at RB.

Literally give me every QB from 9-12 over him, even if said players lose their throwing arm.

10/14 SEC teams don't return a starting QB. I'd take Dobbs over any starter in the SEC this season.

This is just dumb. His stats aren't eye popping because he doesn't get a lot of touches, but we finished 10th as a team in rushing and Jaylen finished 9th in yards per attempt.

I would personally have Georgia over Arkansas, and Bama over Texas a&m... Other than that it looks good.

After the season Auburn should have a bigger lead, with JJ and Duke both #1 at their position and one of our Jovon or Roc as a top 5 RB.

He was missing Hurd, North, Croom, Malone and Smith. Basically our only RB worth a shite and 4/6 WR's.

I'll bet Bama finishes higher than most teams ahead on this list on total offense.

I get the hype gets out of hand but those are 3 potentially elite players.

Everything rides on the improvement on the line. 14 UT OL was all time bad.
