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.
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.

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.
Again with Ms St. Proving you wrong.

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.
They beat them by 13

It doesn't matter if Miss St was falsely ranked #1 for any period of time, what matters is where they end up.
They beat nobody that year. 8-5 Auburn was over-ranked when they played them, so was 8-5 LSU and 8-5 Texas A&M. That was their best wins that season. When they finally played good teams, they lost. Finishing the season with 3 losses.
So no, Miss St doesn't really prove anything.
Not to mention Miss St occasionally pulls in 5 stars and a few 4 stars. 6 4 stars in 2012, 3 4 stars and 1 5 star in 2013. etc.
Everything you say justifies Iowa St to be a top15 team. But no way in hell a #4 spot.
