Seems like this same exact class several years ago would have been number 1 easily. But, there are 5 other classes ranked ahead of ours this year.

Please understand this is not a thread to bitch about our class, this was a great haul.

It just feels like more and more highly skilled recruits are slowly choosing fewer and fewer different schools, which will eventually lead to less parity.

Comments? Insults?

Complete opposite, IMO.

Its too early in the morning to think of the word, but its to the point where anyone can beat anyone on any given day.

If you think they are top heavy now, you should wait for next years recruiting rules to kick in. The programs with money are about to dominate the recruiting with almost zero restrictions. WTF the NCAA was thinking with the new rules is mind boggling. You're about to see programs with staffs strictly for recruiting. NCAA just took three steps back.

As long as LSU is in the top heavy group, I really don't give a shite about parity across all of college football.

I agree it is very top heavy imo.

Bama
LSU
Oregon
Stanford
OSU
A&M
UF
UGA
USC - but fading fast
Texass - need to get rid of Alamo Mack









Everyone Else imo

sure a few upsets happen here and there. but by and large, the champ is coming out of a group like that in recent years.

Conference-wise, it's unreal. Arkansas finished dead last in the Western division in the team recruiting rankings (according to Rivals) and still finished 31st in the country (out of 123 teams).

CFB is only top-heavy with regards to conferences, i.e. the SEC is at the top, and no other conference even comes close. Within the SEC, however, most teams have a chance of winning any particular game.

Go look at the 60's and 70's. For all the SEC mania, teams like Oregon, Kansas State, Okla State have all played in or been in the hunt for the BCS CG late in the last 2 seasons. USCe has had back to back 11 win seasons. Texas A&M is a top 5 team with a freshman Heisman winner. While yes, 1 team has won 3 of 4 BCS CG and has yet again a #1 ranked class. CFB is now more open than its ever been.

I'm just glad LSU is in the top heavy class.
