I'm simply saying they return 19 starters off a team that beat 3 top 25 teams and lost by 3 to #6 and by 6 to number #10
So about 15th.
I don't want to say it's worthless, but returning starters isn't all that in college football. I think Alabama generally ranks at the bottom and near dead last in that stat.
Which is to say, talent being drawn in to start with is a big factor. And Alabama is not unique, many other teams do it also.
Sure there are cases where a 3 star ends up in the NFL and grows out etc. But it's not going to be an entire team.
So are they likely to beat Oklahoma next year? Not really. Oklahoma recruits at a much higher level. Maybe they can beat Oklahoma, but it's not likely.

No. We are unique. No other college can do what we do. You and I both know that. For others, they rely on developing talent to have a chance.
Using Ms St for the example with Dak Prescott and that team. Ranked #1 for how long with a average ranking class of 34-40?
It matters a lot.

Again with Ms St. Proving you wrong.

It much more important to a school like Iowa State (a place where they obviously don't rack up blue choppers every year) than it is Bama plus your backups obviously get a shite ton of PT during most of your regular season schedule.
ISU vs OU will be interesting this season and look forward to watching it.
ETA Lets not forget that they split last year so it won't be much of a stretch if they beat em again.
