That's ridiculous. You're trying to prove that signing #1 ranked recruiting classes doesn't necessarily translate to championships.

I just showed you that 9 of the previous 11 #1 ranked recruiting classes have finished with at least one national championship.

I think he's focusing a bit too much on semantics. No, nothing's automatic. Yes, there's always going to be an element of chance. No, there aren't any guarantees. But he's making a valid point only in the context of a philosophically specious argument. There will always be exceptions, but they don't in any way support generalizations like the influence of recruiting classes does.
