In the SEC, team speed speed is not a myth. The conference is backed with burners capable of roasting their opponents with top-end speed that matches Olympic sprinters.

With that in mind, we looked at each SEC team and compiled what we thought would be the best 4×100 meter relay unit for each team. We seeded who we think the top eight relays would be, the same number of teams you’d see on the track in the Olympic finals. Who do you think would take gold?

1. Alabama

Relay members: CB Tony Brown (leadoff), DB Bradley Sylve (second), WR Amari Cooper (third), CB Marlon Humphrey (anchor)

Both Brown and Humphrey are track stars in the offseason, although Humphrey’s specialty is in the 400-meter hurdles. Sylve was one of the fastest players in the nation before coming to Alabama, and Cooper reportedly has run 40-yard dashes in the 4.3-second range.

2. Auburn

Relay members: RB Corey Grant, DB Johnathan Jones, S Johnathan Ford, WR Sammie Coates

All four of these Auburn players have reportedly been clocked under 4.4 seconds in the 40-yard dash. With Coates’ frightening straight line speed and size, he would be a thrill to watch burn up the final straightaway. Auburn is so loaded with speed that we can’t even get Nick Marshall on the relay.

3. Ole Miss

Relay members: WR Laquon Treadwell, DB Tony Conner, RB Jaylen Walton, CB Kailo Moore

Moore is one of the SEC’s fastest players already has experience running on the Rebels’ 4×100 relay during track season — running the anchor leg, no less — and he was a qualifier for the SEC’s conference championships in the 200 meter dash as well. With him cleaning up, the Rebels have a chance against anyone. Walton has speed to burn as well, so catching these guys in the latter legs is going to be tough.

4. LSU

Relay members: CB Tre’Davious White, RB Leonard Fournette, WR D.J. Chark, WR Travin Dural

Dural showed how fast he is by running right past defensive backs for much of the season, but Chark, who didn’t play as a freshman, is the guy Les Miles thinks might be the fastest on the team. Fournette will get the first straightaway to get rolling downhill.

5. Florida

Relay members:CB Vernon Hargreaves, WR Valdez Showers, WR Demarcus Robinson, WR Andre Debose

Debose is one of the most underrated speedsters in the conference, meaning he could sneak up on some unsuspecting competitors down the stretch. The other two receivers have both been clocked under 4.4 seconds in the 40, so this team should be stacked after Hargreaves’ leadoff leg.

6. Georgia

Relay members: WR Isaiah McKenzie, RB Todd Gurley, CB Damian Swann, RB Keith Marshall

McKenzie’s stop-and-go speed makes him the ideal man to kickoff the relay, while Marshall is regarded as the fastest player on the Dawgs when he’s fully healthy. Sandwiching Gurley and Swann in the middle is nearly unfair.

 7. Texas A&M

Relay members: RB Brandon Williams, WR Ricky Seals-Jones, S Armani Watts WR Speedy Noil

When you have a guy on your team who goes by “Speedy,” you probably know who you want carrying the baton across the finish line. Williams was one of the fastest players on the team before Noil showed up, and Seals-Jones can definitely get going with a running start.

8. Arkansas

Relay members: RB Alex Collins, WR Keon Hatcher, RB DeAndre Coley, RB Korliss Marshall

Marshall is exploring transfer options, but while the burner is still enrolled at Arkansas he’ll be anchoring the relay with his 10.9-second 100 meter time. Collins and Hatcher both have breakaway speed to get things started, while Coley was a track standout in high school.
