[QUOTE="Techster, post: 319118, member: 360"] If you look at where GT fits into with respect to our profile, you would probably group us in with schools like Stanford, Northwestern, Duke, Vanderbilt, UVA, etc. From an academic and athletic standpoint, those schools are more our athletic peer than say Clemson, FSU, UGA, USC, Ohio State, NC State, Tennessee, etc. We belong to that unique subset of academically elite colleges that also competes at the highest tier of college sports. That said, if you look at what we've accomplished in the past 2 decades, you could argue we've been the most consistent football program in that peer group over that span. Stanford has probably surpassed us recently, but GT has had the most consistent long term success. Even if you go outside of our peer group, GT has been a consistently good program. IMO, it's not a matter of learning from anyone to be a good program, we've been a good program for two decades. Vandy in the last two decades isn't even in the same discussion with GT. IMO, it's more a question of what can GT do to take the next step into becoming a consistently VERY good to elite program. I think we're on the very cusp of being a VERY good program that's consistently knocking on the top 25. As the OP touches on, it starts with recruiting, and CPJ has taken a couple of steps in the right direction. [/QUOTE]
