Texas #1 then a huge drop off to second tier.
One things you idiots have to consider as well is coaches have families. Austin pretty much trumps ever other colleges location when it comes to raising a family.

In state? Not really. But the B1G schools do seem to poach eachothers in-state talent a lot more than the SEC.

Alabamas a good job because of fan support and tradition, but I wouldnt put them above Texas or Ohio state. Maybe not as good as Michigan, usc, the Florida schools or even Lsu, UGA , penn state, as far as recruiting base and competition for recruits.

historically, SC is a better job, but RIGHT NOW, it is not.

Good point. I think there's a strong argument to be made that post-Saban, Bama is a WORSE job than many other places because who the hell would want to follow that act?

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
Ohhh boy oh boy at the ignorance in this post
Alabama was a top 10 program by any metric you want to use before Nick Saban ever arrived. "Just another program"
How long have you followed LSU football to think Alabama was "just another program" without Saban?
Now let's address not having in-state talent. As of 2015, the city of Mobile had one less player in the NFL than the city of New Orleans.
Do you know what state has the highest number of players in the NFL per capita? That's right my friend, the state of Alabama.
As for the OP list- the glaring gripe I had is with how you described Georgia. For all intents and purposes they are the same as LSU and Ohio State as far being the only show in town. Georgia Tech recruits a completely different type of player because they run a triple option. They don't go head-to-head with Georgia on the recruiting trail and win

Alabama is good but no way its #1. They have pretty good in-State competition for recruits and are surrounded by recruiting competition and Alabama doesnt produce as well as some other States except recently.
Texas? No way. Way too many schools in that State and even one across the border that rapes the talent(Oklahoma).
Florida? Same as above(+Georgia and everybody else in the fricking country).
Ohio State? Yes. All day.
LSU? Yes. All day.

Thats a very recent phenomena and can be attributed to the Saban effect. Historically its been Hawaii, Mississippi, Louisiana...then a VERY distant everyone else.

Florida is not the primary in Florida. If anything, fsu, Florida and Miami split it in thirds.

IMO, there are many variables that decide this. Recruiting is not the only thing that makes "the best job in college football".

This list is B-A-D

23. Oklahoma State
24. UCLA
25. Pittsburgh
two things about this list. first, its wrong. second, i think more importantly, this list highlights that there really aren't more than like 10-15 GREAT jobs. I mean, okie joke? pittsburgh?
in no particular order
UT
USC
tOSU
Michigan
Bama
LSU
UGA
UTK
ND
FSU
Miami
Penn St
UF
OU
and the most recent addition, Oregon.
other than that is Virginia Tech REALLY a better job than Nebraska, is Arkansas REALLY a better job than Wisconsin? I'm sure BERT would say so, but beyond those 15 I listed, I think youre in an entirely different tier. some will probably argue the 15 i listed could be in separate tiers but I would say those are the most desirable jobs in FBS.

The only school that can compete with Ohio State instate for a kid they really want is Notre Dame and that's just for the Catholic school kids.
What is happening in Ohio is that Ohio State is recruiting nationally and only taking the cream of the crop from Ohio which is opening doors for other schools.
Michigan has also historically gotten some kids who either grew up Wolverine fans or were (in their minds) spurned by the Buckeyes.

USC was huge in popularity in the Pete Carroll era. Had celebs on the sidelines of practices, Coliseum was packed and roaring.
eta - Just because it's not the ONLY thing to do in LA doesn't mean the fans aren't rabid when they are relevant.

Honestly think a list like this is fluid. It really depends on the landscape of college football at that moment.
For instance,I wouldn't rank USC ahead of LSU right now. My reasoning is because USC currently has an unstable Athletic department. They've had 3 different head coaches since the start of the decade. If they are to fire Helton (AFTER 1 freakin season) that would be 4 new HC's.

I wouldn't say that list is horrible but I wouldn't have Pitt or Okla st up there.
I think stanford/Mich St/TCU should be up there somewhere.
