"Team Talent Composite" on 247Sports

I'd love to be a recruiter to USC. Could really pad your 'recruiting' stats.

Welcome to your official visit, let me introduce you to your tour leaders:

talk about padding stats

Pretty impressive for USC to be that high even under sanctions.

Yeah, the quality of the recruits didn't drop, but the quantity did, which really hurt depth.

Until you look at their on the field results and they seem to have drastically underperformed.

I don't know about drastically, but considering the quality of recruits, we definitely have underperformed despite not having the quantity we're used to. To me, that's on the coaching carousel we've had since Pete left.

Now that we appear to have an actual adult as coach, who appears to be putting together a solid staff, the team should hopefully start living up to expectations.

It's coaching for sure. By the looks of it, the recruiting has been there. Coaching and development have been lacking.

Holy Shit Alabama. Leave some for the rest of us.

But this link would have been very useful in my debates with @7Samurai13 prior to the season.

And I said before the season that Michigan can have all of the high school talent in the world but they sure as hell haven't shown any talent on the college level, and I was correct when I said it.

Just ran across this and found what I thought was an interesting ranking, namely, that Florida State had the fourth most talented team in the country, while my lowly Houston Cougars were the 73rd most talented team, one spot below our AAC rival UCF, a team that finished 0-12.

I'm sure that there other inconsistencies between the team talent rankings and scoreboards. Feel free to chime in.

makes you wonder why Tom Hermann didn't win coach of the year......

One interesting feature of the 247 Team Talent Composite is that eight of the top sixteen most talented teams are in the SEC.

Because of the conference he plays in and the schedule they played.

I mad this thread without really looking at what the rankings in the OP represent. Apparently the 247 Team Talent Composite aims to measure talent over the past several years, not only for 2015. So my remarks about FSU and UH are errant. FSU has clearly had more talent than UH has over the past several years.

 

[Shanemansj13]

So, right now, according to this, the final four in two years should be:
1. Ohio State
2. LSU
3. Michigan
4. Florida State

I think Georgia and Bama have a good chance to get in the top 4 or 5 as well, but looks good to me

Yeah, a couple of weeks still to go.
