The Link

This is a very interesting article that I thought you all may enjoy. It isn't as precise as it could be, but seems to do a better than average job of trying to break down how the recruiting ratings correlate to the performance on the field.

discuss?

in short,

Texas overachives by 3 spots according to their recruiting ranking and actual field performance vs BCS teams

Atm underachieves by 33 spots., that largest out of all BCS schools.

If you don't excel in recruiting you better have a great coach (Ohio State, WVU, V Tech).

However, if you do well in recruiting, you still need a great coach (FSU, Tenn, Irish, Aggie).

Very interesting.
