this is why recruiting rankings are not the end all be all. if it was so alabama would never lose
You're sniffing the truth with this statement. Auburn has had a top 10 class for the last few years. The main difference between Auburn and programs like Bama and LSU is the coaching staffs of Bama and LSU can actually coach the players. Auburn has proven they cannot do the same. Hell, if Bert had Auburns recruits, he would be challenging every year for the west title.

I agree on all of your points. player development is just as important, and some players just don't pan out the way rankings think as well. Auburn has a talent deficiency on defense and I think most of those guys were ranked highly. Ohio St hasn't had the highest rated recruiting ranking like bama 4 years in a row but most consider them the most talented team. sometimes rankings matter, sometimes they dont, but I feel they are definitely a good indicator. auburn either has poor evaluation skills or suck at development. might be a combination of the two.
