Let us not forget that the teams in Omaha traveled a brutal road and all deserve to be there.

Now, the SEC is a tailback/rushing league again thanks to Alabama, LSU, Georgia and others -- the way they've cranked out elite back after elite back in recent years. There will be another strong running back stable in the league again this season, led by at least two Heisman Trophy candidates. One of those, of course, is in the Eastern Division. A week after ranking the league quarterbacks, here are our tailback rankings for the East: 1. Nick Chubb, Georgia -- This top ranking, of course, depends on Chubb making a full recovery from ACL surgery. If he does, and returns to the form he flashed so brilliantly last season, he'll make a strong run for the Heisman. His combination of size, strength and speed is tough to top -- and stop if you're a defender trying to tackle him. 2. Jalen Hurd, Tennessee -- Speaking of tough to stop, this 6-foot-4, 240-pound stud is a runaway freight train with the ball in his hands. Even though he shared carries with Alabama transfer Alvin Kamara, Hurd rushed for 1,288 yards and 12 touchdowns in a major breakout season in 2015. Justifiably, he's being mentioned with the Heisman heading into the season. 3. Sony Michel, Georgia -- Yes, the guy who filled in for Chubb last season established himself as one of the top running backs in the SEC, rushing for 1,161 yards and eight touchdowns. No, he's not a product of the system; he's a dynamic back. 4. Ralph Webb, Vanderbilt -- Florida's decision not to offer this Gainesville High kid a scholarship a few years ago looks worse and worse. He's clearly capable of not just playing in the SEC, but playing at a high level in this league after rushing for 1,152 yards and five touchdowns last season. 5. Stanley “Boom” Williams, Kentucky -- A back with that nickname has to be good, and he is. Williams averaged a whopping 7.1 yards a carry in rushing for 855 yards and six touchdowns last season. 6. Ish Witter, Missouri -- He did a nice job filling in for the injured Russell Hansbrough last season, rushing for 518 yards and a touchdown. In his battle to become the featured back this season, Witter will have to fend off hard-charging Trevon Walters. 7. Jordan Cronkrite, Florida -- Or Jordan Scarlett or Mark Thompson, depending on which of the three tailbacks eventually becomes the starter. The three are so even, though, that regardless who starts, they'll likely be sharing the rock this fall. There is a lot of upside to this group. 8. David Williams, South Carolina -- After rushing for 299 yards as a backup last season, Williams emerged as the starter this spring. He will be Will Muschamp's first USC tailback. Which may or may not be a good thing, depending on how you look at it. Sent From Shane's iPhone Go Gators! & Skål Vikes!
