CBS Sports ranks the top 5 running back rooms, where does Wisconsin fall?

Wisconsin will have one of the best two-headed monsters in the country as Chez Mellusi and Braelon Allen lead the Badgers’ running back room.

It took a few games for Allen to find his footing, but when he did he was one of the best running backs in the country. As a freshman, the Fond Du Lac product racked up 1,268 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns. Despite his season-ending injury at Rutgers, Mellusi racked up 815 yards and five touchdowns after transferring from Clemson.

CBS Sports’ Barrett Sallee put together his list of the five best running back rooms in college football as we enter the 2022 season. It’s no surprise that Wisconsin made the list, but where did the Badgers end up? Here is a look at the complete list:
