In summary:

Collins statistically is the superior back when simply looking at per averages. The pace he had in terms of his YPC and TD per carry are simply ridiculous. It is also worth noting that he by far played the weakest competition of the five backs with only Anderson being comparable.

Dixon had the fewest touches but was easily the second best back statistically when looking at his per averages. Additionally Dixon played the hardest competition with only Raines and Phelps being remotely close.

Anderson was the most surprising statistically, especially as a Freshman!
Phelps had the heaviest workload and performed well against solid competition.
Raines' numbers are nothing to sneeze at, but he was considerably the weakest of the five from a per average viewpoint.

Would Collins have the same ridiculous stats playing the same competition as Dixon, Phelps, and Raines? Most assuredly not... but based off his previous stint at Anderson County he still would probably have a better statistical season that nearly all these backs with Dixon being the only one who would edge him in the per average department potentially.

My final ranking of these backs considering all variables:
1. Collins
2. Dixon
3. Phelps
4. Anderson
5. Raines
