USC------------9
Ohio State----4
Notre Dame--11.25
Michigan------16.5
LSU------------4.25

Texas----------12.5
Auburn---------8.25
Clemson-------13

^ is this the article where they just prop up blue bloods with large fanbases/subscriptions even though they actually haven't recruited that well?

If you want to teir the recruiting success of their top 10 it would look like this:

Teir 1:
Alabama (1)

Teir 2:
Ohio State (4)
LSU (4.25)
FSU (5)

Teir 3:
Auburn (8.25)
USC (9)

Teir 4:
Notre Dame (11.25)
Texas (12.5)
Clemson (13)
Michigan (16.5)

^ I think the NFL scouts would agree with this.
