McFadden and Jones at Arkansas and Williams and Brown at Auburn are two of the best for comparison.
Obviously early to rank based on overall careers, but what does the celebrated eye test say?

Unable to determine due to incomplete data. Check back it 15 months.

So you are only going back last 15 years or so? Or does your SEC knowledge only go back 15 years?

They are still below Kevin Faulk and Rondell Mealey.

Or maybe, like... I don't know... Bear with me here... When their careers are over?

ETA: Oops, didn't see the SEC part, guess I need to read the entire subject line. Anyway here are my thoughts on their position relative to any conference.

Reggie Bush-LenDale White have the record for a single season 3,042 yards in 2005.

I could conceivably see them breaking that this season. And repeating next if the O-line can maintain.

way, way, way, way too early. Good lord.

Staying here at home, the "Dalton and James Gang" were pretty darn good, by the way.

Georgia had Todd Gurley, nick Chubb and sonny Mitchell last year. They didn't play much together but you have to think once it's said and done with if bother were healthy that was a top 3 tandem

Let's not overlook Hilliard and James if we're going to do this.

They are very good. I will tell you how good at the end of next season.

Well McFadden and Jones had a combined 8,294 yards from scrimmage during their careers and Fournette and Guice have 2,501 so it might be a little early for the comparisons.

Crazy stat though, McFadden had 7 passing touchdowns.
