Top recruiting classes

No doubt it will change and it's not just the overall number but the ranking of the players within those numbers that are used to factor the overall ranking. You are right, some surprises but it's no surprise that if you think yourself a star, you want to play in the SEC... "almost" regardless of which team. The problem with Jimbo is he can actually coach, and coach up. Obviously Saban does as well. Not sure I'd really put the other SEC coaches in the "over perform" category. A few are obviously in the under perform category.

Out of curiosity:
Who are the under-performers?

It's a matter of opinion. Everybody except Bama?
If you look at the last couple of years.

The top 10 teams 'should' in theory be in competition for the top 10.
Actually.... given that criteria... perhaps there's nothing to worry about with Jimbo afterall.

Has anyone read Meat Market: Inside the Smash-Mouth World of College Football Recruiting? I just started it last night and tore into it pretty good. Excellent so far. Judging a book by its cover, it's about college football recruiting. Getting into it a bit, it really seems it's about Ed Orgeron through his time at Ole Miss. Really has my attention.
