Interesting stat: Schools that played for the BCS title:

Top 10 recruiting schools: 80%

Second 10 recruiting schools: 20% (UThug and Nebraska)

Schools 21-30: 10% (VA Tech)

31-119: 0%

Of course this validates the star system. Beyond that, it's intuitive that better recruits=better results, but the separation between the top 10 and anyone else is eye-opening. Also, Fla State fans should be livid; no one does less with more.

But Jimbo will be the savior according to FSU fans.

When he first left I wasn't sure if it was going to be a good thing or a bad thing for LSU, but now that he's gone, I look back on some of his schemes and wonder how in the hell we had the success we had with him at the helm. He certainly wasn't a very "imaginitive" OC ... and the way offenses and defensive schemes are changing around the country, you have to be able to have lots more diversity in your offense to have sustained success in my opinion.

No question about it, if a team wants to win the national title, it is an absoulte necessity to get in the Top10 in a list like this. History shows that if you're not, you aint winnin it all.
