Would it be better if I do a yearly chart like this?
Also, Teams that ended up not ranked were given a value of 50.

So......basically you're sayin that the better talent a team has the more likely they are to perform well on the field..... Pretty sure everyone already knew that but thanks for making it official! k:
Appreciate the stats, and of course we all know numbers can be twisted to prove whatever argument you're making.
In the end, it's more than quantifiable qualities. There's so many other variables that go into success that's it next to impossible to project anything forward from the available data, though that won't stop most from trying.
Essentially what is being said here is that win % and recruiting rankings, while related, are not everything. There are more variables effecting win % than just the recruits - which is obvious when you say it out loud.
So you analyze the same correlation with multiple variables (SOS, recruiting, etc...).
I would assume that if you took Win % of current coaching staff, SOS, and recruiting rankings and used those variables to predict win %, you would have a very high correlation.
This isn't rocket science, it just looks more complicated than it really is. Thus the saying, lies, damn lies, and statistics.
