Well this is just stupid. No coach in America thinks Arizona State is as good of a job as Tennessee. Look at the type of recruits UT gets on campus versus the type of recruits Az State gets and it's not even the same league.
The whole list is bad. Alabama and Tennessee are pretty much identical except one has had Nick Saban for the past 13 years and the other hasn't. Bama, Clemson, Oklahoma, and Penn State are the schools on that list we're most similar to. All of those schools have top-tier facilities, great tradition, can pay top money, and have a good recruiting base (but not elite recruiting base like LSU, USC, Miami, and Georgia).
Schools like Arizona State, Iowa, Louisville, Mich State, OK State, Standford, Utah, and even Va Tech just aren't in the same ballpark as us on a lot of these categories.
Miami, UCLA, and Nebraska are the only other ones in their "Tier 3" that might be close to us. Miami has a better recruiting base, but much worse facilities and fan support. UCLA has good recruiting base, but weak on other attributes. Nebraska has strong fan support and tradition, but terrible recruiting base.
