There is a reason Bama gets the pick of the litter and the rest of us get what they graciously allow us to have.
Don't know if you recall but we flipped two of their commits this year.
In recruiting, it's not JUST about championships. Championships are great for recruiting, yea. The biggest sell to recruits is getting to the league. Bama wins AND gets people to the league. That's why they've had the number 1 class for 43 straight years.
The losses are minuscule compared to how well a team/coach can prepare a recruit for the NFL. Championships are just gravy that put teams over the top.

First, this whole line morphed into "championships" but acutally started when Peter Buck said our losses like last year to SCU and FU have no impact on recruiting.
I agree with your premise to a degree- if NFL prep didn't matter a triple option team could sustain success.
Assuming nearly all top programs offering top recruits have quality coaching and an NFL pipeline (which they do) you could argue that winning and championships in actuality is the most important factor of all....and you'd be right most of the time.
