1a.) Derrius Guice - LSU

1b.) Saquon Barkley - PSU

3.) Nick Chubb - UGA (if he has regained all his explosiveness)

4.) Sony Michel - UGA

5.) Ronald Jones - USC (added 10 lbs in off-season and it shows with how he's running in camp)

6.) Kalen Ballage - ASU (huge upside.. hope he gets more work this year)

7.) Damien Harris - ALA

8.) LJ Scott - MSU

9.) Jordan Scarlett - UF

10.) Bo Scarbrough - ALA (injury history scares me)

This is my stab at it, but I honestly need to get more into the tape. I'm mainly going off live viewings.

I just went with draft eligible backs. 

There are honestly a lot of talented guys out there. Like I wanted to have Lavon Coleman (UW), Myles Gaskin (UW), Mark Walton (UM), etc on there too.

Haven't really seen much of him, but your high ranking makes me interested.

Can you tell me a bit about him?

Tough SOB.

This play was crazy.

Part of it will be him being 100%, but @buno67 posted a great graphic about how often he got hit before the line of scrimmage or right there, and its large. The offensive line is the one x-factor for Georgia this year. If Pittman is as good as everyone thinks, he will have this line actually blocking this year.

Thats one huge factor for Chubb and co.

I see.

Is he looking more explosive in camp? 

Also, I'm really surprised to see a Georgia fan not have Michel anywhere in the top 10 or even on the honorable mentions. I might have him a bit  high, but I love the guy.

He was explosive last year. He just didnt have blocking. If you want to see something impressive this offseason from here....then ok

 

 

Michel is a damn good back, and could be top 10 or so, I was trying to not be so much homerish, but Michel is going to play a lot of slot this year with Chubb in the backfield. Both on the field at the same time......

Good job with the threads @devils1854.

That said, no way on this earth is Justin Jackson better than Bo scarbrough.

Royce Freeman did the same thing except that he went down all the way:


Not sure how I feel about Royce this year. Obviously we had a lot of problems last year, but he was one of them. He ran like a wuss. Tony Brooks-James (very underrated) was better than him. Hopefully Willie lights a fire in Royce. It's now or never.

I dont know where he belongs on the list but I believe he deserves to be top10. I will say Mike Weber from tOSU will be a top10 RB this year. I was quoted about it in this thread and talked about it in the preseason ranking thread, the OL for tOSU is going to be one of the best run blocking units in the nation. I believe with that kind of OL that Weber is going to have a huge year. I know he left a lot of yards on the field last year when he would get tripped up when he had nothing but green in front of him. From reports I have read he has worked a lot on his balance so those things wont happen as often as last year. I also believe with Wilson being the OC that this rushing attack should be pretty good. Wilson has produce some pretty darn good RBs during his time.

If Weber is healthy he will be a top10 back, I know he has battled an injury during the camp and the staff has been holding him back so he is healthy for the season. I think Weber will have a huge year and he wont even be the best RB in the conference. Barkley is easily the #1 back in the nation and Weber will be the #2 back in the Big10
