[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 910168, member: 4572"] How is the analysis faulty because it only includes 22 teams instead of 25? Those 22 were the only ones who [I][B]averaged [/B][/I]a top 25 class. Something you’re saying we have to do to compete. If anything your analysis is faulty. Your data can be [B][I]heavily [/I][/B]skewed by just one “lightning in a bottle” season. For example, Florida State finished ranked 14th in 2015 and 8th in 2016. Then from 2017-19 they went a combined 18-20. Were they really the 19th best team in the country over that period? Baylor finished 13th in both 2015 and 2019, and went 15-23 between 2016-‘18. If this 5 year period were from 2014-2018, Georgia Tech would’ve had 17 “points” on this scale. I’m sure the numbers would’ve changed a little bit, but that would put us just outside the top 25 best programs based on one single year. Can you not see how flawed that is? If you want to talk about finishing in the top 25 [I]consistently [/I]then applying a weighted scale to ranked finishes is not how you measure consistency. In my post we established that basically nobody recruiting outside the top 5 consistently even has a chance at a national title. So everyone else is more or less equal, especially outside the top 15. We aren’t going to recruit in the top 5, and we’ve [I][B]never [/B][/I]recruited in the top 15, but you want to continue to harp on that being the goal. [I]That’s not a realistic goal. It’s not happening. Not with Deion. Not with Chadwell. Not with Lincoln Riley. Not with Kirby Smart. [/I]Georgia Tech will not [I][B]consistently [/B][/I]be a top 15 destination. It won’t. Deion won’t fix that. And the numbers show that anybody recruiting outside the top 15 has just as much of a chance to finish ranked as the schools recruiting at 16-25. Am I saying recruiting is not important? NO. Absolutely not. Recruiting is definitely important. But it is not the end-all-be-all. Once again, look at Tennessee. They have recruited in the top 20 forever and had losing records. A turnover on their coaching staff and now they’re Natty contenders. Recruiting is DEFINITELY important, but hiring a coach based solely on his recruiting abilities is an exercise in futility. [/QUOTE]
