That is the point I was making. I hate when people say "we should be better caused we recruit top ten" when in fact finishing 2nd last year means we preformed above our ability level based on recruiting compared to other SEC teams.

Except we have lost a ton of our top end talent that makes our recruiting/talent rankings inaccurate
We have lost 8 out of 22 top ~150 recruit from 2013-2015 classes to transfer/suspension/kicked off team
2013 - 2/5
2014 - 4/10
2015 - 2/7
We were well behind Bama/LSU/UGA/FSU/tOSU in recruiting to begin with, to add that super high attrition of our best players makes us fall even further behind.
We should perform better though and win more. We clearly had bigger issues (defense/Gus stubborness) than talent though that were holding us back from 10+W
