You include Auburn, but not FSU? Interesting

2020: #22

Auburn's previous four recruiting classes were ranked as follows (247Sports Composite):

2023: #18

Auburn has recruited on par with Florida State over the last four years, save that 2020 recruiting class when Auburn finished 9-4 in Malzahn's last decent season before he was shown the door. I highly doubt Auburn competes for the national title this year, even with Hugh Freeze, due to the mass exodus of a lot of those players from that 2020 class. However, I added them in because they fit the historical stat.

Florida State does not fit in with those other teams.
