re: Ferguson's leaders are FSU and ND?

With all of the various reports considered, it's between FSU, Miami, Notre Dame, Cal, and LSU. I think he picks either FSU or LSU, and I'm worried.

Again, if players want national exposure, a good chance to win championships, and they aren't considering other SEC schools, LSU is the OBVIOUS choice. If players would rather win between 5-10 games every year and maybe get a chance or two at merely winning their conference, then electing to play in the ACC or Pac 10 or another lesser conference is the way to go. Notre Dame gets as much national exposure as any school, but they don't win.

Winners chose the SEC over schools in other conferences, and those are the players that we want to play football here. We have two National Championships in this decade (tied with UF for most of any school), and we won each of them with two different coaches. Our 2011 signing class is already shaping up to be at least a top 3 class, and those players will be joining a team that's already loaded with talent.

LSU is most likely going to win another Championship over the course of the next 3-5 years - if I were a top-notch recruit contemplating over schools like FSU, Miami, Notre Dame, Cal, and LSU, I would EASILY choose LSU based on winning potential...and women.
