For the fans and maybe some of the coaching staff.

Now that we can fully digest national signing day, it's time to look at how this year's haul in the SEC compared to the past decade of recruiting for these schools. When you look at how teams finished in the rankings this year, they pretty much hit their average mark from the past 10 years. Of course, there were a couple of outliers, but that's gonna happen from year to year.
First, here's where all 14 SEC teams ranked within the conference:
1. Alabama (No. 2 nationally)
2. LSU (No. 3 nationally)
3. Ole Miss (No. 4 nationally)
4. Georgia (No. 7 nationally)
5. Auburn (No. 9 nationally)
6. Florida (No. 12 nationally)
7. Tennessee (No. 14 nationally)
8. Texas A&M (No. 20 nationally)
9. Arkansas (No. 24 nationally)
10. South Carolina (No. 27 nationally)
11. Mississippi State (No. 33 nationally)
12. Kentucky (No. 35 nationally)
13. Vanderbilt (No. 48 nationally)
14. Missouri (No. 51 nationally)
Here's what the conference looks like when you average the finishes in the past 10 recruiting cycles (2006 to 2015, because that's how long ESPN has ranked classes), according to a compilation from ESPN Stats & Information. Newbies Missouri and Texas A&M only had their past four classes averaged because they both officially joined the league in 2012.
1. Alabama (2.3 average finish over 10 years)
2. Florida (3.2)
3. LSU (3.5)
4. Georgia (4.4)
5. Texas A&M (4.6)
6. Auburn (5.3)
7. Tennessee (6.1)
8. South Carolina (7.4)
9. Ole Miss (8.2)
10. Arkansas (9.1)
11. Mississippi State (9.6)
12. Missouri (11)
13. Kentucky (11.2)
14. Vanderbilt (11.7)
It would appear that maybe three or four schools are getting the fruits of their labor, and the others are playing a game and getting in the gun battle with a water pistol. Time for these programs to go after the big names in coaching, or GTFO.

It appears to be more than bragging rights for the university of Alabama.

The t-shirt and banner revenues are huuuuuuuuge.

Bama consistently at top has equaled championships. Not the X's and O's but the Jimmy's and Joe's!

1. ESPN rankings are probably the poorest researched. 247 composite far better.
2. Rankings are comparative. Two teams close in average ranking are theoretically a toss up game.
3. Yearly recruiting ranking says nothing about the recruitment of a complete team. A team composed of 25 DB will not win, but they might be able to call themselves "DBU."

Just think if Bama could win the recruiting championship on a regular basis. They could be in the national championship playoff.

Herman, something else I noticed. Alabama wins NCs whenever everyone in the State of Louisiana averages taking 1.3 shites a day, unlike when everyone gives "2 shites." The coorrolation using regression is remarkable.
Point is, there is there is more going on than averaging recruiting classes from 10 years ago.

Well considering that only one team can win the national championship, Id say the other teams with 9 and ten win seasons are successful as well. It's all relative to how your team is perceived at the beginning and how they are viewed in the end of the season.

Bama's top recruiting classes is mainly the reason we have bragging rights over all the SEC teams right now.

Check yourself bro. All your posts are about daddy. Get over it, accept it and hope for second place. Your post history is telling on you.

IF that were the case then we'd be facing you in the NC games on a regular basis. Seems like we did once. How'd that work out?

Recruiting rankings are like poker hands.
5*s are like starting with a pair or two.
down to 2 stars being about a jack high
Over the long haul you are going to do better with better hands but any individual one could be way out of whack with expectations.
