However, simply using class by class rankings is probably even worse because it doesn't account for transfers which is a massive part of college football these days.


You asked me what that 1 point difference made for the composite and I answered that question. It's just not a good stat without further context. And I was unable to find the context because it kept taking me to 2023 rosters. Based on 2023 rosters, 1 point difference is 6 5 stars vs 1 5 star. Still, I doubt that is the same answer for 2022 because the stat itself doesn't give context and is overall worthless.

When it comes to recruiting classes, the 1 point difference is more meaningful(it's actually a 3 point difference for 2022 recruiting) because everyone is being compared to each other.

Sure using recruiting classes to do the same thing is not better, but that's not what the previous context was. It was talking about who walked into a better situation, and that is where the recruiting classes matter because it shows the support and so forth of the programs. And again, I think it's crazy to suggest LSU is or has been below Florida in that regard, and the recruiting rankings over previous years reflects that.

Even in your own arguments, every single stat LSU is better than Florida. You're merely trying to downplay the differences. If I was a Florida fan, and BK didn't have 7 losses in the past 2 years, you'd all be trying to amplify the differences talking about how anyone coach can win at LSU and it's about to be 4 coaches to win a NC in a row.

No, I wouldn't.

The 20-7 record is very good IMO, considering the circumstances.
