That guy #7 from Michigan should be on this list. Not a Michigan fan but the limited times I saw that guy play he’s utterly explosive. Gonna have a big year as the featured guy.
Phil Mafah will be a top 10 back this season. He was crapped on because of Clemson having Shipley but it's Mafahs season to shine and the country is about to know his name. As RG3 said "he is the Mafah man"
u wish
@@Berley_1234 k
Turned this off as soon as you said The Don wasn’t on it, because without him this list is meaningless.
Who?
Who?
Who? 😂
Back to back 75 & 85 yd touchdowns against your soft D....you know still have nightmares about it!!!@@buckifan5455
Who the heck is the Don?
Gonna need some sorta explanation on why Donovan Edwards isn’t on the list lol
Didn’t crack over 55 yards in any regular season game last year. Great game in the Natty but Also his only 100 yard game of the season. Had 5 100+ yard games in ‘22
He's not even top 30
@@s98247 😂😂
JORDAN JAMES, OREGON 🦆 He is better than half these guys at least and has NFL size. I've never seen this guy give Oregon players much credit though. But we are gonna see!!! ❤
Jaydon blue and Cedric Baxter not on here is disrespectful to what Texas has done after bijan when people thought brooks wouldn’t be good. Same exact thing happening here
This 🤘
I'd put jeanty a little higher he's probably the best RB in the country
Nah, Ollie Gordon rolling him in every stat possible
The Don is not only not at the top of the list but omitted altogether?….stupid is as stupid does
Bro stfU, and no, he's not. Nit even close. Dude didnt even have 500 yatds rushing last year in 15 games . JAMES, JUDKINS AND HENDERSON are all light-years better than Edward's. Fking homer's
@@shawnrice4308 what’s with the language, state ur opinion call it a day, simple as that.
@@darrylw9171 fair enough
@@shawnrice4308 ok that’s what I like to hear, now just take a look at his highlights and the moments in the game when he makes these plays. Big time games he just explodes in them I’m telling u. In half of them he had a broken hand or some other injury and could not be stopped im telling u just go back and watch with an open mind u will be surprised.
Been following Gordon since HS…..he’s different
Not even a minute into the list & the guy completely invalidates it by giving a bad excuse for why Donovan Edwards isn't on it. ESPN is really in bed w da SEC
No Nick Singleton or Maytron Allen? I guess I can forgive that but it confuses me. No Donovan Edwards? Unbelievable.
This list was just the guys with the best returning stats from last year. Amazing the lack of thought that went into this list.
So how exactly are you supposed to determine the top ten RETURNING backs if you don't consider how they played last season?
1. Donavan Edwards
2. Donavan Edwards
3. Donavan Edwards
4. Donavan Edwards
5. Donavan Edwards
6.Donavan Edwards
7.Donavan Edwards
8.Donavan Edwards
9.Donavan Edwards
10.Donavan Edwards
Michigan ain't gonna be squat without the cheating.
ik its not a popular pick and only OU fans really know about him, but gavin sawchuck is a sleeper for top 10 RBs in 2024. he was injured early in the season and had a couple dud games, but in his last 5 games of the season he was well over 100 yards rushing in each of them.
Jamarion miller and Justice Haynes is going to be that best duo backfield in the country
RJ Harvey should be on list
As usual I cannot argue or disagree with your researched based content. I do, however, want to believe that if this was a top 10 backfield room list that the Irish 1,2,3 punch of Price, Love and Payne would make the list. Thanks for another great podcast!
Thank you for mentioning Donavan first thing. Once I found out, I just turned off the video. Thanks!
He knew MI fans would be crying about it, even though Edwards only had 1 good HALF of football in all season.
@@BulletProofSoul1029 😂 look at his stats. You’ve got to remember he was back #2. Corum had the ball most of the time. Donavan will be in the heisman conversation.
@@kp-iv2mp Look at his stats!? You mean 393 yards for 3.4 yards a carry and 3 TDs in 14 games before playing Washington; one of the worst run defenses in the top 10? Or do you mean the stats of finishing SIXTEENTH in the B1G TEN in total yards rushing and NINETEENTH in the B1G TEN in yards per carry, AFTER factoring in his rushing yards against Washington? That's CONFERENCE ranking, not national ranking.🤦🏾 Help me out here, which stats are supposed to impress me...🙄 Btw, would you like to also compare where Edwards stacked up against other "back #2"s last year when it comes to total yards, yards per carry and TDs?🤔 Being "back #2" is a pretty weak excuse.
um fans are the biggest cry-babies. “You don’t mention our guy so I won’t even watch!” lol
@@BlackMountainCycles good job. Almost word for word of what I said. Douche
Ollie for heisman
As an Buckeye fan, Donovan Edwards should’ve been on this list
Why? What did he do in '23 to earn being named a top 10 RETURNING back? Who is on the list that he outperformed?
@@BulletProofSoul1029 I get he didn’t have much playing time. But he did incredible with the little time he had, gave us a taste of what a whole season would’ve looked like
@@tustinian6876 He was SIXTEENTH in the B1G 10 in total yards rushing and NINETEENTH in yards per carry. That's BIG TEN, out of 14 schools. This conversation is about returning NATIONAL RBs, there's no argument that justifies Edwards being a top 10 returning NATIONAL RB. And btw, he never said Edwards couldn't work his way into one, but it's ridiculous for any rational person to look at what Edwards did last year and say his play earned him a spot in this conversation.
Thanks as a Michigan fan, and agreed 👍🏾 💯
It’s kinda funny how many ppl here don’t understand the RB position
It's kinda funny how you made a blanket statement and didn't explain yourself
@@702TifosiGambler would they even get the nuance ? Would you?
No lawrence toafili
Got to fix that typo in the thumbnail 👍👍👍
Rutgers running back ???
Yes, he's special.
Ima assume you didn’t like the NCAA cover
I would’ve liked judkins at 2 just for the fact that he was playing against the sec defense along with having one of the most rushing yds in the country.
Neither RJ Harvey nor Peny Boone in your top ten?
No Kyle Monangai of Rutgers? Dude is the best in the B1G. This is definitely an ESPN channel. 😂
Quinshon Judkins the best back in the B1G
Trey Henderson over Donovan Edwards 🤣😂
Not Dylan Sampson you drunk my guy GBO 🍊
Keep the bulletin board material coming for UM
Where’s Donovan Edward’s top 5 for sure and not even on this top 10 list is nuts
Devin Neal at #9 disrespectful
Lol the fact you have 2 Ohio state running backs and not cj Baxter on this list is wild..dude is about to go off with the 2nd best line in the country
How you gonna have two pac 12 RBs from last year but not have the RB who led the Pac in yards per carry as a number 2!! Jordan James!!!!
Short list of people more deserving to be on this list than at least half of these guys
Donovan Edwards
Jordan James
Jeremiah Love/Jadarian Price, whichever you think will take the most carries at ND
Ja'Quinden Jackson
Raheim Sanders
Either Penn state back
I understand trying to shine a spotlight on lesser known players, but that’s a different video altogether
At this Point … Just stop making lists Dude. Because idk wut football you been watching
Damion Martinez 🟠🙌🏻🟢
Remember the name Kaleb Jackson
When you have to start your segment by excluding a certain player....That's the best player on the list right there.His talent is
Hands down better than anybody on this list.And he's proving it against big time competition, you put these stipulations on because it fits your narrative.But he's the best back in the country who care eat happened in 2023.
Bro, Texas has produced the 1st RB picked in the last 2 drafts and let's be honest Jonathan Brooks was the Doak award winner. 4 RB's drafted in total... you think they're going to skip a beat? Blue/Baxter take #1 with Blue winning the Doak this year and going first RB selected next year.
Texas is definitely skipping a beat.
Sark produces an 1000 yard rusher every year. Texas will have, at minimum, a top 10 RB.
Gabe F'n Ervin
What a dogshit list lmfao. No Edward’s and NEITHER Penn State RB. Impossible.
Kansas Neal should be top 5
Man Jordan James gets snubbed
lol no Montrell Johnson he been Florida leading rusher the past 2 years 😭 but y’all put etn up here cuz he at uga now
RJ Harvey was a miss by this list and both Penn State Backs are very good maybe honorable mentions over Edwards.
Donovan Edwards was terrible last year. So many casual fans istg
Mario Robinson from Memphis
Ten ten running backs
No love for Lequint Appen for the Cuse 🍊?
Where’s rocket sanders?
No ismail mahdi? Number 1 in the nation in all purpose yards
I think Phil 7 should be there some where
Better put some respect on Phil Mafah.
Etienne at UGA should be much higher
How you gonna leave Georgia’s Branson Chubb off of this list smh
I'm a UGA fan and there is no reason Branson Robinson should be on the list. He needs at least a full season under his belt..
Edwards might be the best back in the country lol , let alone 10 top . You really think all 10 of these backs are better? Real question? The Boise State rb is better than don? Ok lol
Edwards is extremely overrated
@@highway0428 how exactly?
Once again terrible bland vanilla takes starting off with a caveat on why Donovan Edwards isn’t on the list 😂 I’m an Ohio state fan and that’s insane.
Look is Mr Biased again!
No RJ Harvey lmao
I guarantee Notre Dame duo with RB JEREMIYAH LOVE AND JADARIAN PRICE IS THE BEST DUO IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL FOR THE 2024 SEASON WITH OC MIKE DENBROCK ☘️☘️☘️ KEEP SLEEPING AND FIND EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO NOT TALK ABOUT NOTRE DAME BUT I BEAT YOU WILL BE FORCED TO DO IT ☘️☘️☘️
Mark Fletcher
Why does ESPN DO CREATIVE MATH FOR OHIO STATE PLAYERS?? TREYVON HENDERSON CAN'T BE A TOP 3 CFB RB FOR 2024 under 1000 yards and he's injury prone it's just flat out OHIO STATE HEADLINE PROMOTING
I watched Top 10 toughest places to play and now this.
It’s clear these lists are made for engagement. Can’t watch this guy talk anymore it’s nonsense.
Rocket Sanders....
You need to put - "the best helmet" - in all of College Football behind you - and show some class in doing so - overcoming the obvious bias infliction. ( ? ) Otherwise - you would have had it there already - and - you wouldn't need 'me' to point it out to you ? * GO BUCKS *
No nick singleton they smokin dah good good 😂
CJ Baxter
Ummmm Texas?? Huge miss there
Ten Ten??? Come on graphics team😅
No
Makhi Hughes
Ha ha ha but Michigan thinks their group of RBs is the best in the country. None of them even made the list! 😂
Because they probably had to cheat to win😂
kyle monongai
Ten Ten RBs of 2024 ? 🤦🏽♂️
Ten Ten
No Jaydon Blue or Cedric baxter lol
Ten Ten😭
RJ HARVEY.....FINALIST FOR DOAK WALKER AWARD......UCF
Where’s Jordan James?! He’s better than pretty much everyone on this list
Gordon still better
Facts! This guy never ranks Oregon players highly
No he's not lol
@@s98247 can tell you dont watch film
Please keep up the egalitarian content
1. Edwards, 2. Judkins, 3. Henderson.
Edward’s is 3 on that list lil bro, Edward’s didn’t go over 55 yards in a game till the playoffs, and before you say Blake corum took all the carries, how can he be better if he lost his carriers to a 5th round running back and not to mention a 5’9 running back, it’s a physical position and he lost to a 5’9 running back
@@jakobhazeltine2688 im an ohio state but dont be ignorant. Edward's wasn't the main rb he was the redzone rb
1. HENDERSON
2. JUDKINS
3. JORDAN JAMES
4. NICK SINGLETON
5. DONAVON EDWARDS
@@wattsinc. he was also running behind the best offensive line, and it’s one thing to come in and split carries then it is to shoulder the whole load of the offense like he will have to this year
Not putting Donovan Edwards on this list invalidates the entire video. Do better
Cedric Baxter from Texas?
D Edwards not on the list !? Lol nice list. 🧻🚽
um fans are the biggest cry-babies. “You don’t mention our guy so I won’t even watch!”
These comments from them are pathetic lol
Watch Bama running back this year were the only team in cfb that wasn’t looking for a rb in the transfer portal 😂🐘
Mich fans gonna be real mad this year
1. Donovan Edwards
2. Kalel Mullings
3. Jordan Marshall
4. Gordon Ollie
5. Micah Kaapana
Jesus loves you guys so much and God is coming soon we are living in the end times please choose God today before it's to late and stop following satan and the things of this world repent of your sins and turn away from them believe in the son and follow the son before it's to late.
Omarion Hampton! He got it right but Hampton is the #1 RB imo.
It's hilarious reading all these people cry about leaving Donovan Edwards off a list of top 20 RETURNING RBs when his B1G 10 Conference stats where; 16th in total yards rushing and 19th in yards/carry. Those are CONFERENCE stats. SMH 😮💨
Not Top Ten
1st
I was more impressed with Brooks from Tech last season than I was with Gordon from Ok. St.
Explain! Ollie didn’t even get any touches the first 2 games and still had 1,700 yards
This is a joke
Not having Jordan James from Oregon makes this list a joke. He was literally the highest graded RB in the country last season. He's better than pretty much this entire list, if not the entire list
James was the 82nd ranked RB last year according to PFF.
@@Mark-zx2bqbc he wasnt a starter
@@NeonKing16 a lot of the RBs ranked ahead of him weren't starters either
@@Mark-zx2bq Jordan James was the highest graded rusher in the FBS last season with a rushing grade of 94.8
@@jstrig no, the highest graded RB in the FBS was Audric Estime with a PFF grade of 94.2.
Lmao,,I will take that bama running back room over anyone in the nation
CJ Baxter
