OU has had the 15th ranked class or lower since AM joined the SEC (and signed top 10 classes). OU and Texas neither signed top 10's and had every year since 02. Makes you wonder with A&M recruiting better and other SEC schools getting Texas players (Plus Baylor,Texas Tech and Okie St are on the rise in recruiting) what this does for OU's recruiting in the future. They have always been the number 2 team in that state and they have to go out of state to build a roster.
I dont think you did your research. That, or you're trying to give aTm entirely too much credit.

I did do some research months ago 
but I worded it completely wrong, sorry about that.
The last two years, OU has ranked 15th or lower and the 10 years before that they never finished that low. Even in the other 5 years they didn't finish top 10 they signed 7 5*'s and averaged over 3.5*'s per class. In 2014 they had a 3.22 avg (would have been 11th in the SEC) and a 3.17 in 2013 (Texas had a 3.17 the last 2 years)
For the 3rd year in a row A&M is going to out recruit them pretty strongly for the top players in Texas. OU/UT only got a combined 4 guys from the top 10 rankings the last two seasons. 14 of the top 30 2015 players in Texas are already committed elsewhere and Texas/OU only have a combined 1 commit. I'm not trying to give A&m to much credit ,Alabama,LSU,Stanford,Oregon,Baylor,ect.. have been getting allot of top guys recently. Talent is leaving that wouldn't have in the past. You gotta think Texas will start recruiting better in state soon but what happens with OU if theres so many people getting the top guys?
