Top five running backs

Last update: October 18, 2007 - 5:45 PM

1 Mike Hart, Michigan

Mr. Consistency leads the nation in rushing (154 yards per game) and is making a hard run at the Heisman Trophy.

2 Darren McFadden, Arkansas

In our view, he's still the most explosive and dangerous tailback in college football.

3 Ray Rice, Rutgers

The school started a "See Ray Run" Heisman campaign. You'll like what you see.

4 Kevin Smith, Central Florida

Held in check by South Florida last week, but he still has 915 rushing yards and 11 TDs.

5 Javon Ringer, Michigan St.

He doesn't get much attention, but he's averaging 177.7 rushing yards and 10.5 yards per carry in Big Ten games.
