Which schools surprise you having low recuriting rankings

Which schools surprise you for having such low recruiting rankings?
Using Rivals rankings:
Georgia Tech - #85
Stanford - #63
Kansas State - #62
All kind of head-scratchers for me.

Why does GT surprise you?

Surprised Stanford isn't more desirable. Beautiful area, great coach, great degree, pro system.

The entire ACC minus Clemson/VT

#1 has to be Texas. Yeah they sucked, but they're TEXAS. They have the easiest recruiting road in the nation.

Stanford took a really small class. They are loaded with upperclassmen.
They will be back up there next year.

Miami is #44 on Rivals right now. That's crazy.

This shouldn't surprise any one.

Stanford had a big time class last year so that surprises but the other two make sense.
Mizzou is still recruiting like they're in the Big XII. They're 20 spots behind fricking Kentucky.

Doesn't really surprise me, and I guess it's not a low ranking, but UGA should do better than #12. Especially this year. 9 of the top 100 players in the '13 class are from the state of Georgia, but only 2 (!) signed with UGA. So much for putting a fence around the state!

Not really that surprising. They've always won by bringing in JUCOs and developing under-recruited talent.
Texas is an obvious one, but NIU is interesting to me. MAC teams rarely rank high nationally, but with the Orange Bowl appearance and Illinois being down, they didn't even do much compared to the rest of their conference.

Misleading stat. They have a very small class which hurts their average/points total. If you go by average star rating, they are around 15.

ULM-123(I believe)
Some may laugh but with all the attention they got this past season u figured they could crack the top 100

Not really. Tech hasn't been that great in a while, so it is no surprise that they don't recruit well.
Stanford and KState have been doing amazing things with low level talent. If you've watched either team play the past 3 years you would have heard some announcer slobbering over this fact at least once.

For Texas to be #23 on both Scout and Rivals is truly ridiculous.
You have to consciously recruit against yourself to pull that off.

It's pretty crazy how random results on the field translate from recuriting rankings, espescially outside of the top 10 or so.
Take TCU in 2006, as class that included 5 current NFL players:
Marcus Cannon (NE) 3*, Andy Dalton (Cinci) 3*, Jerry Hughes (Indy) 2*, Colin Jones (carolina) 3*, Marshall Newhouse (GB) 2*.
That class was ranked 60th by Rivals.
The 2007 Boise St. class ranked 68th by Rivals included 7 current NFL Players:
Doug Martin (TB) 2*, Kellen Moore (Det) 3*, Shea McClellin (Chi) 2*, Austin Pettis (St.L) 3*, Nate Potter (Ariz) 2*, Billy Winn (Cle) 3*, Titus Young (Det) 3*

I can't remember the last time GT had a good class so to say it surprises me doesn't really make sense. Our brand just doesn't sell anymore. GT is in the heart of SEC territory and when you combine that with the limitations the schools puts on itself, just isn't appealing.
UGA did pretty terrible considering how loaded the state of GA was this year. Their class is good but it could have been great.

Stanfurd cuz ESPN told me David Shaw was an awesome top 10 recruiter

Kansas state builds their program very heavily with juco prospects. Kansas has some of the best juco football in the country, so it works for them.
