TIER 1

The one that cares the most…

1. Alabama

The primary school in the 1st/2nd state for recruiting…

2. Texas
3. Florida

The only school in the 5th/6th state for recruiting…

4. Ohio State
5. LSU

TIER 2

The primary school in the 3rd/4th state for recruiting…

6. USC
7. Georgia

The second fiddle school in the 1st/2nd state for recruiting…

8. Texas A&M
9. Florida State

Top tier history with poor recruiting location…

10. Oklahoma
11. Michigan

Good in every category but great in none…

12. Auburn

The primary school in the 10th/11th school for recruiting…

13. Tennessee
14. Penn State

Top tier history with poor recruiting location and academic hurdles…

15. Notre Dame

Can recruit an entire team in their own city but little fan support…

16. Miami

Great fan support in decent location with less money…

17. Clemson
18. Virginia Tech

TIER 3

Great fan support in a terrible location for recruiting…

19. Nebraska
20. Wisconsin

Private money…

21. Arkansas
22. Oregon

1. Alabama

Take Saban away and that's just another program. They don't have great in state talent and have to compete with Auburn. It's a top job but not #1

USC and Michigan are both clearly better jobs than LSU. And I think we are a better job than Florida.

That still puts us top 6.

This is a great topic for debate. I think Texas is the best job. Austin is a great place to live. Throw in lack of state income taxes. Program history etc....JMO

Michigan? Well that's just assinine...USC is at least debateable but with the $ and facilities I believe LSU edges out USC. USC is not the premier thing to do in LA.

anywhere lil nicky decides to go, that too could change with a quickness if he doesn't meet the unrealistic expectations he and only he has created, it's a sharp double edged sword folks...

Michigan & USC are both better jobs.

ETA: they can pull recruits from anywhere in the country

Lofty admission standards limit recruiting a bit.

Disagree. I think it's 1. There is a lot of talent in that state and right next to florida and georgia and mississippi. It's a natinal brand that can recruit anywhere.
