If your goal is to determine which CFB team is the most talented, why use the silly arse recruiting rankings as a barometer? There is only one true bottom line indicator of the talent that a college football team has, and it is irrefutable. Want a hint? THE NFL!!

How many of your players are drafted and how many are on NFL rosters is the only true indicator of the talent level of the various teams and conferences. Recruiting rankings, regardless of how much stock some put in them, are extremely subjective and regional and thus totally unreliable as a talent barometer.

I know the SEC has lead the nation the last several years in the total number of players on NFL rosters and I also know LSU is in the upper tier, though I don't know our exact rank. It's nice you put in all that research but it's way easier and more accurate just to count heads in the NFL!!

We're discussing overall teams not individuals. Just because you don't play in the NFL does not mean you weren't a good college player.

As far as barometers go, it would be a nice barometer, but it would be past vs future(star ratings). So why don't you work up an NFL barometer?
