The Sunday Morning Quarterback blog has an article on recruiting rankings vs on field results...
Sign Me Up, Tear Me Down: Recruiting Rankings and On-Field Success

The relationship of recruiting and success may be self-evident enough to fall under the heading of “duh studies,” but we are approaching the peak not only of heavy breathing over collections of teenage talent, but also relentless mocking of said breathing, and of the big-business attempts to sate ever-growing recruiting lust with very official, inscrutably-reasoned rankings of that talent. Newspapers will anecdotally trash the system in one-sentence (and occasionally one-word) paragraphs on Signing Day, more or less mirroring the Wizard of Odds’ rhetorical smack before last year’s rankings were released: “snake oil salesmen have more credibility.”

Not many teams were ranked appreciably higher than Ohio State, and the Buckeyes have played almost none of them. Behind OSU and Michigan, the rest of the Big Ten was ranked in the middle of the pack: Iowa, Illinois, Michigan State, Purdue and Wisconsin occupied spots 39, 40, 42, 43 and 45 in the aggregate rankings. The winners of that group (Wisconsin and Iowa) are therefore “overachievers” in the long haul while facing very few teams that were thought to have superior talent.

Muck - I wonder what that ranking would look like if it used the average "star" rating of the classes as they actually made it onto campus?
I'd bet that would rationalize the success vs. projection rankings, while still giving plaudits to the overachievers for finding players that fit a program neatly.

I dunno. It would be interesting data to see...but I'm far too lazy to cross check for 20 teams or so over six years. lol

Looks like Johnny Simon is going to have to pull a Mike Adams and once again prove those boys at Rival wrong.....
And I think he can do just that!  |
