Are we really underachieving vs. the rest of the SEC? quote: Not losing to inferior opponents like FL and USCe so we can be legit, dominant contenders for our own conference championship would help. Yep, we have always been 1 or 2 inexplicable wins away from a championship level team. We were actually one clutch play away from winning one in 2012 and simply couldn't get it done. It's a shame because that would likely have made a huge difference in our future recruiting.
Most kids being recruited either think or are being sold that they will be the team that gets college team X to the championship. Early playing time and NFL placement from a contender is much stronger than playing for the team that won it all last year for most elite recruits...

There are obviously many varying factors that go into a recruits decision making process but clearly a team like Alabama who has won multiple national championships can point to their championships as a major draw. There's a reason why Bama has been the top team in recruiting since Saban has been there and there's little doubt that their championships are a huge factor.

I'll use your own words to prove my point:
Saban, Meyer, Butch, SOS, Gus, all selling the same things. And all saying that no one gets UGA over the hump and they'll point to CMR's 14 year track record to prove it. By the time the kid and family hear it from the 14th different school/ coach it certainly factors in.
