while Auburn and A&M are a little too high (A&M may have reached that height in recent years, though).
Who would you put ahead of Auburn? Maybe Notre Dame. But like the article says their lure isn't close to what it once was and they're not located near many recruits.
Auburn has had a couple down years, but the recruits still now we've played for two National Championships in the last few years.
Since 2010 Auburn has finished outside the top 10 in recruiting once and we were number 11.
Funny how you say that Texas A&M has reached those heights and not Auburn when they just started recruiting at our level. I went all the way back to the 2005 class on 247 and A&M has finished ahead of Auburn in recruiting only 3 times the least decade. Since they joined the SEC they've finished ahead of twice by exactly one spot.

The top 10 isn't going anywhere regardless of CFB landscape. Those programs still put the most talent in the NFL and still have the titles and tradition to back it all up. Not to mention they have the most money to attract big time coaches. Places like A&M, Clemson, Auburn etc require a coach that can recruit really well. Once sumlin leaves A&M they will most likely drop way off, their classes are already dipping outside the top 15 as it is.

Huh?Look at the top 10 twenty years ago and look at it now.
Miami,Nebraska,FSU,Penn State were all perennial powers back then.I wouldn't consider Clemson or Michigan State a consistent top 10 program.

Nebraska and Penn state were not perennial top 10 recruiters, they had EXCELLENT coaches. Recruiting stars and classes weren't a thing 20 years ago, the programs that won had more time on tv and the good recruits followed. Nothing like it is now. The top 10 you see in that list are the schools that will always be attractive for recruits.

Penn State finished in the top 10 in recruiting in 94,'95,'96 and '97 and Nebraska was a consistent top 15.
UT was also a recruiting power back then...several top 5 classes in a row.

Nah, it's just called the Midwest.
