When they tell you it’s about the Jimmies and Joes…

    I agree it’s about the Jimmies and the Joes but it’s also about coaches coaching them up and not screwing up the talent they have.

      … which can be seen by looking at the programs drifting off to the left or right of the pack in that chart. USC, FSU, UNC, UCLA, etc. aren’t doing much with talent on hand. Mizzou, Fresno, App State and Utah State are doing pretty well with in spite of not having much talent.

      Pretty eye opening chart to look at.

        Also indicates Louisville might have scored the best coaching hire in the offseason.

          And based on their being so far left of the “pack” on the graph that coach might be in pretty good position to do well out of the gates.

      You dont have to coach them up as much as not screw them up. Let the talent do the work.

    So you are saying on a very relative scale, TN is overperforming. Hahaha

    Mizzu’s position confirms my thoughts…that they outperform their recruiting. They recruit like Vandy and perform on ND’s level. That has to catch up to them sooner or later.

      Well, last year they did. They performed on Kansas State’s level in 2017, Vanderbilt’s level in 2016 and Duke’s level in 2015. I’m not trying to cherry pick or anything. Those were literally the three teams that finished immediately behind them those three years.

      Jeff Tedford, now at Fresno, had a similar record of out performing at Cal. It eventually caught up with him. Still, one heck of a coach.

    Well those facilities that attract recruits ain’t going to pay for themselves! Better open those bank accounts up peeps! The Capital giving campaign ain’t going to pay for itself!

    Holy cow, looks like SEC teams reflect 8 of top 11 or 12 in SP+. Ouch.

    Any underperforming team with a roster with across-the-board raw talent is obviously set up for a breakout season, any given season…if they can pull it together. I look at that chart, see USC and FSU floating in no man’s land and think, “when (or perhaps if) it clicks for them this season, the playoff picture could get really interesting by November.

    We may finally reel in Bama after the 2020 class. Future is bright for the foreseeable future
