re: Who will win a SEC title first? A&M, Arky, or South Carolina?

Texas a&m

I am loling at all the dawg fans in this thread hoping SC goes away in the near future. It's just another backdoor way of looking at things I suppose - dawg fans with a backdoor mentality.

BTW, when has SC ever had big time recruiting classes? Answer: Never. Rarely a Top Ten Class, it's just not how the ranking system works.

Here's another way of looking at all this talk about recruiting classes. I'n the past 13 years Georgia has averaged the highest rated class in the country overall, they've been very consistent - and with the same coach. While, at the same time SC has had Spurrier and Holtz and has managed only a #18 average ranking during the same span of time.

Yet, in the past 13 season, Georgia is only 7-6 verses the Gamecocks with the point difference during that frame of time being just a little over a single point.

Do recruiting rankings really matter? Yeah, sure they do, but not as much as some are claiming in this thread. It's more about coaching'em up.

Furthermore, when Spurrier does leave SC will hire another very capable coach. There is a legacy in place now, started by Holtz, built upon by Spurrier and it will be continued by the next guy. We've got the money, the facilities, and we've always had the fan support to attract another good coach and continue recruiting solid SEC caliber players.

So dream-on dawg fans - and thanks for the laugh.
