I did this for the NCSU fans on Packinsider.com. I guess some of they're fans don't think recruiting matters. There Mod (I think he's a Mod)asked for me to fill them in on the downfall of UT and why it happened. After a bunch of blah blah back and forth about numbers we came to this the numbers. I thought it was interesting enough to post over here.
I did some looking. (Long)
I went back to 1990 till 2011. This is what I found.
National Champs: Sorry for my arrogant humor, I am an SEC fan....LOL (WIKIPEDIA)
1990- Colorado 1997- Michigan 2004- USC 2011- Bama (SEC)
1991- Miami 1998- Tennessee (SEC) 2005- Texas
1992- Bama (SEC) 1999- FSU 2006- Florida (SEC)
1993- FSU 2000- Oklahoma 2007- LSU (SEC)
1994- Nebraska 2001- Miami 2008- Florida (SEC)
1995- Nebraska 2002- Ohio state 2009- Bama (SEC)
1996- Florida (SEC) 2003- LSU (SEC) 2010- Auburn (SEC)
Rivals would only let me go back to 2002 (Rivals/Scout)
Recruiting rank----- # of 5*---------# of 4*---------# of 3*
2002 Ohio State- Rank 5th---3---14---8
2003 LSU- Rank 1st---1---17---10
2004 USC- Rank 1st---8---7---3
2005 Texas- Rank 20th---0---9---6
2006 Florida- Rank 2---4---17---5
2007 LSU- Rank 4---2---19---5
2008 Florida- Rank 3---4---12---4
2009 Bama- Rank 1---4---14---9
2010 Auburn- Rank 4---3---13---13
2011 Bama- Rank 1---3---14---5
Out of the 10 years above these teams was almost always in the top 10 in recruiting. This tells me that someone in the top 10 in recruiting will more then likely win the national championship in 2012.
All time top 10 in recruiting. (Bleacher Report)(BR, I know, I know)
10. Miami- 2 NC shown above
9. Nebraska- 2 NC shown above
8. FSU- 2 NC shown above
7. Texas- 1 NC shown above
6. Ohio State- 1 NC shown above
5. Michigan- 1 NC shown above
4. Bama- 3 NC shown above
3. Notre Dame- O NC shown above
2. Oklahoma- 1 NC shown above
1. USC- 1 NC shown above
I think it is important to note that, Florida was # 11 all time in recruiting and they have 3 NC shown above.
These numbers show me that you have to recruit in the top % to win the big game.
P.S. If I made an error I apologize.
