re: Florida closes with seven 4 stars and finishes with a top 10 class

Georgia's average rank over the past 5 years has been higher than Florida's.

what you don't realize is that "average" is a stupid way to compare teams in this scenario. School A could have a 8th ranked class 4/5 years and school B have a 12th ranked class 4/5 years. But one outlier year A has a 15th ranked class and B has a top 2 class. The "average" is going to side with school B although in reality they surely haven't been recruiting better over that time period.

16 class: UGA- 8, UF- 12
15 class: UGA- 5, UF- 21
14 class: UGa- 8, UF- 9
13 class: UGA- 12, UF- 3
12 class: UGa- 8, UF- 4

UGA has been more consistent to be sure and don't have any dreadful classes like UF did in '15, but we also didn't have any elite classes, of which UF had 2 in a row.

Fact is that over the last 5 years UGA and UF have essentially canceled each other out in regards to class rankings as both average about an 8th/9th ranked class.

The mantra that UF is whipping everyone with zero talent while UGA has these mega elite classes we can't do anythign with simply isn't true.
