1. Marcus Lattimore, South Carolina: Steve Spurrier hopes a sound running game will take some pressure off Stephen Garcia but Lattimore will only be as good as the Gamecocks' offensive line.
2. DeMarcus Millner, Alabama: Nick Saban's specialty is the secondary and Millner has the tools to step right in to the Alabama lineup.
3. Da'Rick Rogers: Tennessee: The question is who will get him the ball, but Rogers was a big-time steal from Georgia and should have immediate impact.
4. Michael Dyer, Auburn: Don't the Tigers always have a great running back? They will again this year if Dyer can make the adjustment to big-time college football.
5. Ronald Powell, Florida: One of the big questions for the Gators is defensive end where both starters are gone. Powell will be able to step in and supply a pass rush.
