BCS Bowlers are not recruiting champions

Not one of the teams in 2010-2011 BCS bowls have a yearly top 5-10 recruiting ranking, with the possible exception of Ohio State (not top 5).
Some of the teams are loaded with 3*s, and some are loaded with 2* and 3* players.
Coaching and competition make a huge difference.

the norm is the BCS champion is usually at the top of the recruiting rankings. And Auburn is where they are due to a super talented player.

Don't tell that to NIH.

We have both exceptional recruiting classes (see 2008), and great coaching. Yes, we lost 3 games this year. But we also lost a lot of guys to the NFL, so obviously this year would be transitional.

A lot of the usual suspects had young teams in 2010. Experience counts a hell of a lot.

Though if you are a highly sought after recruit wouldn't you want to go somewhere that is only a piece or two short of having a shot at it all? That is assuming you will be that piece. That'd seem more attractive than going somewhere where there's a log jam at your position.

Since 2002 (When Rivals started ranking teams based on recruiting hauls), the only team to not make it to the National Championship game within 4 years of signing a #1 class was USC's 2006 signing class.
That speaks volumes about a couple of things. #1 - Surprisingly accurate recruiting rankings and #2 - The importance of signing top recruits.

Recruiting rankings are very important.

Maybe true, but you can't win a national championship if you're not consistently pulling in Top10 recruiting classes every year. It's a proven fact over the last 10 years.
