saw this and I thought it was interesting
teams who win the title sign more four- and five-star recruits than two- and three-stars over the previous four signing classes.
This has been true for about as far back as modern recruiting rankings can be tracked.
It’s easy to think of the stat as the percentage of four- and five-stars signed by a team, out of total signees. Generally, teams whose signees are less than 50 percent blue-chips over the previous four years can’t be considered national title contenders."
What numbers have recent past champions posted?
Alabama won it all in 2017 with an incredible 80 percent mark.
Clemson took home the title in 2016 after signing 52 percent blue chips in the 2013-16 classes.
In 2015, Alabama had a 77 percent mark.
In 2014, it was Ohio State at 68.
In 2013, Florida State was at 53.
In 2012, Alabama was at 71,
Just as it was in 2011.
And so on.
2018 Blue-Chip Ratio Teams
Team Blue-Chips
Alabama 77%
Ohio State 76%
USC 71%
Georgia 69%
Florida State 67%
LSU 63%
Auburn 62%
Clemson 61%
Michigan 57%
Texas 55%
Oklahoma 53%
Penn State 53%
Notre Dame 51%
Miami is at 46 percent and has a poor 2015 class (23 percent) cycling off the books next year.
Texas A&M is at 44 percent and could sign a top-five 2019 class.
Florida is at 42 percent, and the poor 2015 class (24 percent) will be coming off the books. With a strong class this year, UF could get back above 50 percent.
I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.
