Obviously it's still early. But...
1 Georgia
2 Bama
3 Texas A&M
4 Oregon
I'm actually most surprised to see Oregon so high. They were usually only top 20-25 under Chip Kelly. Mario Cristobal is pulling talent there like nobody ever has.

Pretty simple. They play AU next year. No one spots programs on the rise like Jay Jacobs

Also Cristobal is a ridiculously good recruiter

They may be better but they are not far and away better than Smart. To be clear I’m not arguing that they aren’t better, just the far and away part.

I haven't seen anything to make me believe they're better than Smart.

Is that why Auburn hired Kevin Steele?

It's certainly not a coincidence.

Not trying to turn this thread into a trollfest Unlike this jackwagon, but doesn't the barn carry the banner for cheating per the NCAA?

So obviously we aren’t very good at it. Bama has it mastered

Tis unprecedented, sir.

Actually, they were in the 10-15 range under Chip.

Taggart started it last year with a class that was no.1 at one point in the offseason.

Uat was the only program that was "staring down the barrel." Just be glad Saban's best buddy is the head of the ncaa.
