Sure hoping this comes true!! It should be very clear the difference Anthony Hill made this year and he is the 1st elite LB Texas has had in a while. Agent zero was a spin down that was excellent as speed is difficult to coach. You either have it or you dont and we need speed!!!
 
Weird to not see Alabama in that top 6. Will be interesting to see how their recruiting fares with the new regime. Have to feel like they're going to take a step back.

There's really only one direction for them to go. It's like expecting UCLA to continue on an upward trend after Wooden. Deboer is a good strategic coach, but he's not going to recruit like Saban.

It will unless KD hires a relentless recruiting staff. He isn't a stellar recruiter and if Bama takes a results hit watch out.

Binder boy was a terrible recruiter but his staff was top notch recruiters for the most part. We whiffed on some elite players because he refused to be a part of it when players wanted to feel like they can connect with the head coach. He was "too good" for that and it cost us.

I will say maybe to that. But if Deboer has early success he will be not far behind Saban in recruicing. I think bama will still be a force to reckon with going forward.

Kirby and Sark are the only ones who recruit at the level of Saban. Deboer is not there yet. There has to be a drop off from Saban (the gold standard). Saban had the skins but in the last few years with Georgia having back to back championships, his guarantee wasnt what it used to be. Deboer had a generational qb for 2 years which is his luck but he appears to be a solid coach. Kirby will be back with vigor this year and Sark could push him if we have an elite dline which is yet to be determined. We also have to have much improved db play.
 
Georgia is the beast. The godzilla of college football IMO. They have taken Alabama's throne and are poised to make a similar run as bama's recent success.
However the equalizer is that they put their pants on one leg at a time just like everyone else so they are not invincible.
You never know what will happen on game day. Texas, bama, Ohio State, Oregon are nipping at the heals, capable of beating them. Michigan and LSU are honorable mentions though I feel Michigan will have to rebuild.
Thank goodness Bowers is graduated.
Texas and Georgia will be clash of the Titans. Problem is we have unproven playmakers at wide receiver(in Sark's system anyway). Who is going to get open, catch the ball, break a tackle and take it to the house. (Mitchell and Worthy were my security blankets) We don't know who the go to guy is yet. I suspect spring football will be telling.
Our secondary is suspect also but the athleticism is getting better.
Looking forward to the12 team playoff.
We are one of the elites now but can we slay the beast?
