Favorite RB?

Droski's right, McKnight is such a joke. Every time one watches SC Joe is made out to be Reggie Bush Jr.; when in reality, he is nowhere close.
SC has a "stable of rbs" because none of them are good enough to win a significant amount of carries. They are all good, but none are as great as they are made out to be.

I don't like USC but they do have some real good backs. Mcknight just needs to get his act together. Also it's kind of hard to get in a rhythm when your in and out all of the time. Imagine if Mcknight was the feature back at Florida. Or C.J. Gable at the Vols. Dude those two guys are very good backs. Stafon Johnson is the only one I would call just good.

Best was severly injured against SC, we had zero passing game and they loaded up against the run, and SC had by far the best defense in the country. i very much doubt mcknight would have done crap against SCs defense that day under the same circumstances. If you look at common opponents best has FAR better stats than mcknight or johnson. edit: and we didn't run him in the 4th quarter since we were behind. And how many cal games have you watched so you know vereen sucks? any? Vereen runs a 10.5 100 and was a big time recruit.

I've watched a few Cal games. Best is a good back no doubt about it. But I wouldn't say he's the best player in the nation when he doesn't really produce against the best. Tebow even though I hate him as a Florida player is the best on Offense in the nation.

there is a reason johnson is starting in front of both of those guys.

he doesn't produce in one game and therefore he isn't that great? he's a rb. not jesus. even tebow has sucked it up every one in a while.

Best ran down Miami's throat. The Pac-10 isn't as talent void as some SEC homers think.

best ran down miami's throat despite our qb sucking the big one and them putting 9 guys in the box.

Miami is in the ACC. And they were very young on D. Also do you think he would have ran it down Bama, Florida, or the Vols throat last year?

Pretty much all the BCS conferences, save the Big East, have pretty much equal talent and speed. The rosters of NFL teams are pretty evenly dispersed with those 5 leagues. The thought that the SEC is so much more superior is an uneducated fallacy.

SEC is by far the fastest conference with better overall players. Look at the SEC draft prospects and players taken over other conferences.

Exactly what I was thinking. I think if a player gets 2 in a season they won't be cleared.

If he really got 4 concussions his first year playing college ball, he probably needs to go ahead and hang up the cleats. Otherwise, he could be senile by 30.

Per team the pac 10 has had more players taken than the sec the past 4 years

Thanks, droski. I didn't feel like looking up the stats, but I knew I was correct.
The SEC blind homerism is a nefariousness to my stomach and makes me want to vomit.

Yea, it does get on your nerves after a while. Got a friend of mine who mindlessly bashes the Pac-10 for no apparent reason, other than "it's a weak conference", as he says it in his own words.

This is a couple of years old, but I thought it might be useful.

The Southeastern Conference had 263 players on the 2007 National Football League opening day active rosters, which led all conferences.
The Atlantic Coast Conference was second with 238 players, followed by the Big Ten with 234 players, Pac-10 with 183 players, Big 12 with 176 players and the Big East with 84 players.

More often than not, but there have been recent down years. I'm not really sure it was strong enough in 2007 to really warrant putting LSU in the BCS over USC. 2004 was another down year.

True. Although I could make an argument for each of those years, I'd think you would be generally correct.

I don't know if this is an indictment on Tennessee football in the last decade, but the years you listed are the years that UT made it to the SECCG.

Well, Florida was bad in 2004 and alright in 2007. UGA was pretty good in 2004, but not as good as they should have been. They had a good record, but weren't ever dominant after thrashing LSU. In 2007 they were mediocre. UT deserves some credit for taking advantage of down years for those two programs (although we still lost to UF in '07).

You are funny dude. We have far less busts than other conferences in the draft. Also our defenses are on another level down here. It's going to be even harder for opponents to score thanks to Kiffin and the crew. Please don't get this started. You guys really want to compare our conferences but there is no comparison. Remember Texas Tech last year. Yeah I know you guys know what happened to them.

hmm I kinda forgot about Jahvid Best. He might be my co-favorite next to Noel Devine.
