  • SportsAndLady
    '03 Auburn w/out a doubt.
  • goosebumps
    Auburn for sure
  • Hb31187
    Minnesota didnt have a great QB but Barber and Maroney in college were as dominate as any duo
  • spartan
    2003 Auburn by far, they also had Brandon Jacobs
  • gibby08
    ^^

    I didn't know that
  • 3reppom
    He was a big time recruit out of the Kansas JUCO scene. He gained around 400 yards in 03 and promptly transfered to Southern Illinois.
  • BigAppleBuckeye
    While Arkansas didn't have a marquee QB, their 2007 RB/FB trio of Darren McFadden, Felix Jones and Peyton Hillis is tough to beat ... all three have started for NFL teams the past two years.
  • 2quik4u
    Auburn by far and like someone already said brandon jacobs was also with them for a year where he averaged over 6 yards a carry.
  • Pick6
    My top 3 includes how they have done in the ncaa and nfl:

    1. Auburn
    2.Minnesota
    3. Arkansas

    Auburn by far? LMAO

    USC in a landslide. 2 Heisman winners and another back that would have been #1 pretty much anywhere in the country, end of discussion.
  • Scarlet_Buckeye
    It has to be Auburn by far. I mean, the team went undefeated... all three are basically starters in the NFL. If you look at what they have done (in the NFL by numbers),

    Jason Campbell 1,002 of 1,637 for 10,860 and 55 TDs (38 INTs)
    vs.
    Matt Leinart 340 of 595 for 3,893 yards and 14 TDs (20 INTs)

    Ronnie Brown 928 carries for 4,081 yards and 31 TDs
    vs
    LenDale White 628 carries for 2,349 yards and 24 TD

    Cadillac Williams 842 carries for 3,238 yards and 18 TDs
    vs
    Reggie Bush 488 carries for 1,940 yards and 17 TDs

    it's hands down, large and away, the 2003 Auburn backfield.

    maybe in college they win, but the only one of them who contribute anything in the nfl is bush. and not very much. 3rd string rb and returner.
  • Sonofanump
    I'll take Auburn, then OSU, Arkansas then USC.
    Not impressed with Bush or Leinart, I feel both are very overrated.

  • rock_knutne
    OSU? Even with out a great QB Arkansas was better.

    That said, Auburn is a clear winner.
  • purple_rein
    Since this is the College Football Forum, USC by far.
  • SQ_Crazies
    I wasn't aware that this had anything to do with the NFL...
  • norwalk
    Based on college careers.........USC.

    Thanks for adding to the list. Dont know how anyone could forget about these guys.

    But, Auburn by far. And also the most ripped off undefeated team ever.
  • SQ_Crazies
    Again, how is it Auburn by far? USC had 2 Heisman winners. WTF does this have to do with the NFL? Especially since it's on the college football forum.
  • Sonofanump
    Based on that criteria, it's Mt Union 2008.
  • SQ_Crazies
    Based on what criteria? Heisman winners?! LOL
  • Sonofanump
    Awards and performance, not ability.
