No I’d rather ignore that list entirely and focus on being top 50 which is an actual achievement 

Being #1 on the list is an achievement.  You just don't want to recognize it but that doesn't make it less of one.

Better than all of them except UCF.  

and if we didn't have 2 or 3 lose their 4 star rating after they verbaled to us we would be right up their with those A holes

I mean everything anyone does in life is an achievement, I’d rather have ones that other people not on the list would want to have.

Being a top 20 offense in his first year(#17)? Recruiting 15 spots higher than the 2nd team in your conference? Yeah, that's big stuff.

Everything is a matter of perspective, so enjoy the progress.

And miss an opportunity to attempt to crap on USF? Will probably never happen.

That’s a view I can get behind, really can’t understand the other approach though of only being happy being number one no matter what that list actually is. I guess that’s the same reason I don’t get I don’t care who we beat as long as it’s w’s. Aim for the stars and you may at least hit the moon but aim for the end of the block and celebrating making it out the driveway? 

Well, there are ways to compare schools... for example, USF is also #1 on the list of teams that moved from I-AA to I-A since 2000....  #5 of schools in Florida... #4 on list of schools with a shade of green as one of their official colors but #6 for teams with gold as a color... #7 on the list of "teams that played in the Big East at some point" ... #2 of all team playing in a "bay area"... #3 of all teams with "South" in their name... #22 on the list of animal mascots that are mammals,  #2 on the list of cattle ...

We are in the top 50 for all fbs programs.  Certainly something to celebrate.  

Indeed.

Smazza hears we have another 4* coming. Any more news on that?

Great if G5 is our thing.

Another way to look at it is we had a recruiting class about on par with Michigan State and out-recruited the following Power 5 programs (if you go by 247 composite class rankings): Arizona, Wake Forest Cincinnati, Duke Brigham Young, Iowa State, Louisville, Oklahoma State, Cal, Indiana, Kansas State, Utah, Washington State, Baylor, UCLA, Boston College, Northwestern, and Virginia.
