[QUOTE="Heisman's Ghost, post: 433989, member: 4015"] I don't think this means that much. To me, this should be about the universities and how easy or hard it is to get top talent. UNC is a classic underachiever. Tarheels get plenty of talent and much of it is squandered. UGA is an underachiever of a different sort they consistently haul in top 10 classes and have been doings so for as long as I can remember. But like the "Head Ball Coach" once said: "Georgia gets plenty of talent... (dramatic pause to insert the needle) I can't imagine what happens to them" Some teams have been underachieving for so long it is second nature such as Miami, FSU, Texas, Notre Dame and the like. Some teams could bring in the second coming of Knute Rockne and it would not matter such as Iowa State, Tulane, Rice. I see Tech as an overachiever and has been for quite a while. One top 20 recruiting class since these things became a national obsession circa 2000. If UGA had our classes they would be looking up at Mississippi State and possibly Vanderbilt and Kentucky. Basically our coaches have been getting just about all that could be squeezed out of pretty limited talent in most years. The last time I can remember a Tech team that honestly underachieved relative to its talent level may have been one of Chan's teams. Others may differ on that. Other teams that I see overachieving relative to their talent are Duke (now that Coach Cut is there), Army, Navy, perhaps Pitt, Wisconsin gets more out of their players year after year than just about anyone, and to some degree (this is just my opinion so don't get upset) Virginia Tech has historically done well relative to talent at times.
