Faulk and Tomlinson. If there's anyone on that list I could go back and make Buckeyes, those would be the ones, with Ricky Williams a modest third.
I can't objectively rate Eddie and Beanie, so assume that they're tied for #1.

Marshall Faulk was otherworldly in college, particularly his freshman season.

Best?
To compare almost anyone to Barry Saunders is difficult. For his style, no one really compares. Barry in the college game and the professional game had runs that defy my comprehension. If you look back in time, only the Kansas Comet, Gale Sayers, comes close in my mind.
That is not to say the the list presented and others in their own way were not spectacular. For example, Archie Griffin, had some mind boggling runs too, but he was not as ghostlike shifty as Barry Saunders. Eddie, Beanie, LaDanian, Emmitt and others are spectacular in their own right. Don't forget Jim Brown either. Why must we alway put a tag of "best" on everything? Appreciate the chance to enjoy the athlete-artists in action. Some are hammers and some are scalpels. (Not a very good metaphor, but....)

I was always one to think that Jim Brown, had he played another 5 or 6 years would have run away with most yards in the rushing department. Then along comes the best running back in the NFL. God only knows what Sanders would have done if he decided to play on for how many years he could have. It was sad to see him retire at such an early career in the NFL. My friend said that Barry Sanders made Jim Brown looked as if he was running in Army boots. Thats kind of funny, but I don't know about that.

Question says best you've seen... I never saw LT or marshall faulk in college so no to them.
Ron Dayne was ridiculous and durable, second best bowling ball on the list, if not for troy davis beating him at his own game he would advance. michael turner, deangelo williams, garrett wolfe were great backs but played inferior competition and were as jaw dropping as the first two i mentioned so no to them. Adrian Peterson... yea he advances. Reggie Bush, if there were an all purpose catagory he might just win it... but his lack of power running make me feel like this isnt his competition. Darren McFadden... blazing speed, good to great power.. Felix jones makes me question him a bit but I'll advance him. Knowshon Moreno, great back, not this list great though. Beanie... sorry but I do think he is better than eddie. Ricky Williams was amazing, he advances. Eddie George, I love me some eddie and he is close but I dont think he quite belongs here, the other weapons around him were just so sick its hard to be objective. Rashaan Salaam? really? Troy Davis, the best bowling ball back I have ever seen.. I loved watching him run. Warrick dunn is reggie bush lite sorry. Ki-Jana Carter, a little surprised he doesnt get more mentions here.. he was really damn good... I put him just a notch below eddie. eric bienemy? does someone here have a colorado crush? ive never been impressed with emmitt sorry. Lawrence phillips was amazing, he moves on too. so umm I would have to choose between AP Ricky Williams Beanie Troy Davis Lawrence Phillips and McFadden.. Sorry, i dont think I can break it down any further than that.

Eddie may have slowed down late in his NFL career, after he was abused for years...but he was fast as hell at Ohio State. Holy crap! Did you see that. Me neither, but they say it was Eddie George.
