Rivals rankings VS National Championship...

[jasonb56]

This was sent to me from somebody who spends waaaay to much time looking at college recruiting, but came up with some interesting conclusions... bottom line, if you want to win a National Championship, you need to have at least 1 of your recruiting classes finish in the top 10 with-in 4 years of doing so... this list goes back 7 years, but he says it's true all the way back 19 years! (no way I'm taking the time to double check that)

He was trying to make a point that yes, stars count if you want the ultimate prize...

agree/disagree here it is...

Here's a composition of the past seven National Champions and the last 4 recruiting classes leading up to the National Championship.

2010 - Auburn # 4 (2010), # 19 (2009), # 20 (2008), # 7 (2007)

2009 - Alabama # 1 (2009), # 1 (2008), # 10 (2007), # 11 (2006)

2008 - Florida # 3 (2008), # 1 (2007), # 2 (2006), # 15 (2005)

2007 - LSU # 4 (2007), # 7 (2006), # 22 (2005), # 2 (2004)

2006 - Florida # 2 (2006), # 15 (2005), # 7 (2004), # 2 (2003)

2005 - Texas # 20 (2005), # 10 (2004), # 15 (2003), # 1 (2002)

2004 - USC # 1 (2004), # 3 (2003), # 13 (2002), ??? Stopped at c/o 2002

Another thing that all those teams had in common were good/great coaching staffs and the ability to develop talent.

Looking at AU, if you look back at their 2007 class, that was the key.  Look at how many OL they signed and the grades on those guys!  On another note.  Also makes you sick if you see how much talent they pulled out of the state of florida.  For those who haven't been to AU, it's in the WOODS!  Not close to anywhere so all they're selling is football.
