The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

What did Aristotle mean exactly?

Putting it in college football terms — teams win championship, not individual players, and the right organization tied to cohesiveness often leads to success.

RELATED: Building our ideal SEC running back

Using that as a model, let’s have some fun with hypotheticals here and build an SEC superteam for the 2015 season, one that could obliterate all-star squads from other Power 5 conferences.

The only rule in building our superteam is that only one personnel group can be used per team.

Arkansas’ offensive line

Starting up front, let’s take a unit we can count on. Four returning starters including heavyweights Dan Skipper and Sebastian Tretola, I’ll take my chances with a line coached by Bret Bielema. In a run-first offensive philosophy, the Razorbacks’ set of blockers — the nation’s biggest across the board — would win virtually every snap-to-snap battle and be an especially dominant force in the second half against worn-out front sevens.

Alabama’s RBs

There are more talented backfields in the SEC, but for this exercise, I like the Crimson Tide’s versatility — not to mention position groups at LSU, Georgia and Arkansas suit this superteam better elsewhere. The SEC is stacked with running back talent this season and while the Crimson Tide could have depth issues in the backfield, it doesn’t get much better than Derrick Henry as a featured back, Kenyan Drake as a catch-and-run weapon and Damien Harris as the heralded newcomer. If Lane Kiffin’s calling our plays, I’ll take his personnel in the running game.

Mississippi State’s QBs

The SEC’s Heisman frontrunner Dak Prescott is a no brainer at quarterback from a leadership and playmaking standpoint. He’s prevailed in big games, improved substantially since the end of last season (which was a fantastic year) and is the league’s top pro prospect at the position heading into the 2015 campaign. We’re even comfortable playing freshman Nick Fitzgerald a series or two if Prescott goes down or needs a breather. The 6-foot-5 signal caller showcased his expansive skill set during the spring game and should be able to handle Dan Mullen’s offense efficiently in 2016. Mississippi State has depth at the position, a luxury most SEC teams do not possess.

Texas A&M’s WRs

The collection of talent on the outside for Prescott would be superb with all this group of Aggies including hidden gem Christian Kirk who will be a freshman this fall. Edward Pope and Ricky Seals-Jones provide two reliable targets as tall and lanky field-stretchers while Speedy Noil makes defenders miss in the slot and Josh Reynolds, the SEC’s top returning touchdown producer at the position, dominates in the red zone. Noil and Kirk could help out in the return game as well.

Mississippi’s DL

Texas A&M, Tennessee and Alabama may have comparable standout players, but the Rebels have the necessary girth needed to combat some of college football’s top offenses. Showered with praise in Oxford since his five-star arrival in 2013, two-time All-American Robert Nkemdiche is a matchup nightmare inside who makes life easier for pass-rushing end Marquis Haynes, a budding superstar and team sack leader entering his second season. Fadol Brown, Channing Ward and Issac Gross all rotate up front as interchangeable monsters in the Ole Miss attack, giving our SEC superteam a tremendous strength edge. Facilitated by its defense line, Dave Wommack’s defense gave up only 4.67 yards per play last season, second only to Florida’s 4.55 in the SEC.

Georgia’s OLBs

During Tuesday’s SEC meetings in Destin, Fla., Alabama’s Nick Saban called Georgia defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt “one of the best coaches” he’s ever had on staff, high praise considering his vast collection of impressive assistants. Equipped with Crimson Tide-caliber talent in his second year between the hedges, Pruitt worked throughout the spring and the end of last season developing ways to get Jordan Jenkins, Leonard Floyd and Lorenzo Carter on the field at the same time. I call them pass wreckers (instead of pass rushers) because of the violence each display off the edge or in coverage. The Bulldogs are blessed at the position, but only get Jenkins and (expected early Draft casualty) Floyd for one more season. We’ll make sure they play nearly every snap.

LSU’s DBs

The Tigers gave up 10 touchdown passes all of last season, an SEC-low thanks to dominance on the corners and athletic play at safety. Much of that bulk returns as well as the addition of five-star Kevin Toliver, an instant-impact guy alongside Tre’Davious White at the other cornerback spot. Jamal Adams, who has a knack for finding the football, steps into a starting role this fall and has all-league potential. Jalen Mills’ decision to return for his senior season made this group an easy pick to man the back end of our superteam defense.
