JohnnyFootball Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) The problem with lists like this is that it's easy enough to pull the recruiting/talent rankings and compare that to wins over certain time periods. It's not a subjective metric. Utah on that list kinda destroys any credibility it might have. Edited February 25, 2023 by JohnnyFootball 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, and Nebraska hasn’t had a lot of elite talent in the past 10-12 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is good for the Big 10 West. They have 5 out of their last 6 classes in the top 25 and can't win 6 games. That is pretty wasteful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Wisconsin: 38, 46, 30, 27, 16, 41 Minnesota: 60, 38, 49, 39, 39, 52 Iowa: 41, 40, 46, 35, 27, 39 Those are the rankings of the other top Big 10 West teams from 2017-2022. Nebraska is at least the same and better most years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCLA, Mississippi St, Miami, Florida St. They all have had WAY better recruiting years than Nebraska but have accomplished about the same as the Huskers.

Which Schools have done More With Less: Let's keep it to top 10. 5.) Oklahoma State. I like to rip on them, but the truth is that Mike Gundy is much better at X's and O's than he is at finding the Jimmy's and Joe's. Their recruiting seldom ranks high, but dang if they don't win more than they lose. 4.) Wisconsin. Between their academics and antiquated system, it's hard to build an elite roster outside of the occasional piledriving RB. But Wisky hardly ever stinks. 3.) Pittsburgh. They rarely pull top talent, and yet they seldom have losing season. Seems like they play a lot better-talented teams pretty close. 2.) Cincinnati. They seem to go through coaches fairly often, and yet they're always solid. Not great, but always competitive. 1.) Tulane. I've actually ordered a t-shirt. That's right. I'm a t-shirt fan for Tulane. Come at me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oklahoma St. 9. Kentucky 8. Iowa St. 7. Utah 6. Baylor 5. Cincinatti 4. Appalachian St 3. UTSA 2. Houston 1. Central Florida (UCF) - Fake championship or not, they came out of nowhere and sustained successful seasons much in the same way Boise St has after shocking OU all those years ago in Arizona. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wink wink, nudge nudge. There's really no reason for them to even be passable. They "compete" with LSU (and most of the SEC) for all the elite in-state talent, which means they have to make do with the scraps of a mediocre schoolboy football state (overall). But they won me over this season. I really think they've got a chance to turn it around and become a reasonably solid .750 program in a lower-tier conference. Remarkable, considering everything they've got going against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
