The SEC’s collection of running backs is by far the best in the country in ’15, thanks to a giant group of exiting Big Ten players.

But despite the plethora of ball-carriers, being a part of college football’s elite increasingly necessitates a strong passing game.

With that in mind, here’s a look at five of the best potential receiving tandems in the SEC for the 2015 season. If you want to watch some strong passing games, you’d be wise to catch some SEC West action this fall.

Robert Foster and ArDarius Stewart, Alabama: These two players were the high point of Alabama’s A-Day game, sharing MVP honors. ESPN recently classified Foster, a former five-star recruit and the nation’s No. 2 overall receiver in ’13, as a “sleeper.” Stewart, also a ’13 recruit and a redshirt sophomore this fall, was the No. 2 “athlete” of the ’13 class. No matter who throws them the ball, these two should start to emerge as SEC stars within Lane Kiffin’s offense early in the season.

Malachi Dupre and Travin Dural, LSU: If you want an SEC receiver to run a go route, Dural is your man. He’s caught 44 passes entering his redshirt junior season — for 903 yards and nine touchdowns. He averages a jaw-dropping 20.5 yards per reception in part because he hasn’t learned to run any other routes. The team started pitching him the ball late in the year and he averaged 11.1 yards per carry. Dupre is more of an all-around threat who could emerge as the No. 1 receiver after a somewhat slow start as a five-star true freshman. He, too, averaged 22.7 yards per catch in ’14.

Laquon Treadwell and Cody Core, Ole Miss: Treadwell is a volume receiver who could catch 90+ passes if he’s healthy for the entire season. Treadwell only averages 10.3 yards per catch in two college seasons, but knows how to get open and can play pitch-and-catch all the way down the field. Core, a springy 6-foot-3 senior, is more of a deep threat. He averages 14.2 yards per catch for his career and broke through with 41 catches in ’14. It’s possible these two could end the season as the SEC’s top pass-catching duo, but the Rebels need to find someone to throw them the ball.

Marquez North and Pig Howard, Tennessee: The Vols presumably have lost Von Pearson, pending a remarkable turnaround in his legal case (he faces rape allegations). But, if Tennessee’s other top receivers stay healthy, North and Howard still could make one of the SEC’s best tandems. Howard, a senior slot receiver, caught a combined 98 passes the last two seasons. He’s not particularly explosive, but he’s steady and reliable. At the risk of oversimplifying the narrative, North is the opposite. He needs to stay healthy long enough to develop consistency, but at 6-foot-4 and 224 pounds, could be an early NFL draft entrant with a strong junior season.

Josh Reynolds and Speedy Noil, Texas A&M: Both members of this duo could approach 1,000 yards and double-digit touchdowns. Reynolds averaged 16.2 yards per catch in ’14, a monster number given the Aggies’ propensity to complete short timing routes last season. He was a quiet touchdown machine, scoring 13. Noil, meanwhile, fought through a hamstring injury to make some spectacular catches and several near-breakaway kickoff returns. He’s set for big things as a sophomore. By the way, limiting A&M to a tandem excludes players like Christian Kirk and Ricky Seals-Jones, who should also be very productive.
