Wisconsin never has a top 25 or even a top 40 class every year, but they still find ways to win the Big Ten and beat teams with top classes like Ohio State. Class ranking is done all wrong and is a highly overrated.

None of this matters, as soon as they change the way the National Title is awarded Bama nor any other team from the SEC will win it again. After all, its just a popularity contest the way it is. /sarcasm

Boy, I'm sure glad those rankings really mean shit, I mean why worry about play on the field when we can just decide who is the best time by how many 5 star recruits they land?

Red I don't quite think your understanding what I saying. Yes SEC gets the best recuits (according to ESPN/Rivals). But how often do you see Mississippi State in the top 10 or even 25? Never.

Wisconsin has finished top 10 the last 2 years and there not even close to having top classes.

My point is Geat Coaching beats "Top Recuiting Classes"

Recuiting Classes are overrated. More 3 star recuits end up in the NFL then 5 stars do because 5 stars tend to be very overrated.

Look at Ohio State last year. Great recuiting class but they ending up doing horrible. Florida State had the best recuiting class last year and they end up just as good as Ohio State.

2 or 3 Great SEC teams land top recruits. The lesser SEC teams eat up the second best players. Leaving shit for the other confrences. Hint the run of NC's for the SEC.....
