I cannot make-out that top-left outlier. It looks like a blue horse with orange trim. Is it Boise?

As noted, yes. Click the link, then reorder the first table by "Diff" by clicking on it. Best performance vs. recruiting expectations:
Navy
Northern Illinois
Boise State
Utah State

Worst:
Kansas
Maryland
Colorado
Tennessee

The gotcha is nobody cares if you recruit "poorly" but perform at a high level, which none of the "Best" do. And no poor performer's fans will care that they have great recruiting (oops, Vols).
