    Check out Bama's and Clemson's rushing stats from last year. Bama had 1 RB with more yds than Hurts and another with just under the same yds as Hurts. Watson wasn't close to leading rusher for Clemson.

    OSU in '14 would be a good one to look at too. To get to upper echelon IMO ... the RB position (even if split with 2 backs) should be at least 1 and a half to 2X what QB rushes for. But then that is IMO.

    Derek Taite, Kevin Fant, Omarr Connor, Kyle York, and Mike Henig calls BS on this. There was a window from 97-2000 where we had a great line, but other years not so much in the Jackie and Croom eras.

    Tebow at Fla....Newton at Auburn- those were upper echelon too

    With the OL talent Bama and Clemson- it doesn't matter who runs the ball

    It's exactly 7 regular season wins. Again- bowls are gravy and don't factor into predictions
