Elite Recruiting Classes = Natty On a Platter

Mike'l is going to lose his friend Jeddy when he tells this recruiting/title contender comparison over the radio.........

Expect Jed to call in with an epic and complete meltdown in response. Nuts may be busted over extreme excitement. Listeners should beware.

 

[Brasky]

And then Jed will find out that I am directly responsible for the whole segment.

Epic. Meltdown.

From 2009-2013?

That's close.

It's not hard to poke holes in this, but it's still fun to look at.

2010 National Champ: Auburn
Class Rankings:
-'06 - 10th
-'07 - 7th
-'08 - 20th
-'09 - 19th
-'10 - 4th (including Cam Newton)


10+7+20+19+4=60 60/5=12

not 8.4 like ye said..

making this part of the OP false.. "Conversely in the last 8 years, a 5 year recruiting class average anywhere over 11.5 in the country (according to rivals) has guaranteed you WON'T win a national title"

 

[Brasky]

Yeah it was a 4 year avg for TX and 3 for USC because the rankings didn't start until 2002. I actually removed that in the e-mail I sent and pointed that very thing out that the USC and Texas avgs were to be taken with a grain of salt.

And thanks for catching that numerical error. So the lowest ranking since 2006 we'll say (since my OP is not spot on enough for you) is a 5 year avg class ranking of 12. .5 higher than my flawed claim. Earth shattering stuff. LOL

Va Tech 2009-2013 avg: 24.6


I'd like to do a 5 year average for every team and rank them accordingly for this season. Then see how accurate it is when the final AP poll comes out.

Nebraska would be pretty much spot on.

 

[Brasky]

Nebraska would be pretty much spot on.

The averages in relation to final AP rankings for Nebraska have been astoundingly similar.

 

[Red_Alert]

 

[Brasky]

In the last 3 years the total discrepancy between Nebraska's 5 year avg and their final AP ranking is just 6 spots if that makes sense.

Stealing Jeds 1620 thunder, about recruiting no less lol

LT was all world his sophomore year. now he sucks? he had zero protection and zero running game last year. He will be a RS-Sr. I am not concerned. If you watched the team last year you know his lack of production was rarely on him. New OL coach. New OC. new QB coach. i am quietly confident.

I am in the process of using this theory to create a program which will calculate the % chance for every team in the country to win the National Championship in 2013......

Should be interesting to see how this turns out. Obviously Alabama will be a huge favorite.
