Well that would depend on how you actually rank them. Some teams like Texas Tech will have a "better" offense but i would much rather play them than tosu |

if Jeff Bowden could ever figure out how to use the talent at FSU, they'd prob be in consideration
Lorenzo Booker has jukes, and Antone Smith is a blazer with great power...Jamal Edwards provides depth at 3rd string
It's super difficult to run in FSU's scheme though, so we'll see....I expect Antone Smith will be a great NFL back someday

OSU is top 3 easily, Notre Dame is up there With Walker, Travis Thomas, Alrdidge, Shwapp and Tyler for TB's/FB's I dont know about top 3 but top 10 yes... by the way Powers-Neal isnt at Notre Dame anymore, and didnt play the end of last season because of his DUI

With QB included...I just realized that 99% of teams with stud backfields have young or unproven QBs.
Unfortunately if we include QB...the ole' Domers have to enter the discussion. Walker is solid...but they don't have much behind him as of right now. Powers-Neal is NOT good IMO.

I'm not sure you can count UT in the mix now, considering Taylor's troubles with the law. That being said, I don't think we're in the top 3 either. While I love Pittman's game and think he's one of the most underrated backs in college football, there's not much other proven talent there. CWells has never had a carry (although I really, really want to see him succeed and I think he can) and Haw got very little playing time last year. Finally, I wasn't very impressed with MoWells' play last year. Accordingly, until more is done on the field by our backs other than Pittman, I think it would be blatant homerism (see xray) to even put us in the top 10.
