When it comes to talking about brute strength in college football, you're bound to run across a few names from the SEC. Honestly, it would be a crime if you didn't.

Well, ESPN senior writer Bruce Feldman certainly doesn't disappoint in his new blog listing the 10 strongest players in college football.

The SEC tied the Big 10 for the most representatives with three. Alabama was the only school to have two on the list, including the strongest of them all, defensive tackle Josh Chapman.

The 305-pound mound of defensive power benches 580 pounds and squats 630. Talk about a body guard!

The other Crimson Tide member to make it is running back Trent Richardson, who came in at No. 7. He benches nearly 500 pounds and power cleans 350.

LSU running back Michael Ford ranks ninth. Ford benches 425 pounds, which is second-best on the team.
