Final 2012 Recruiting Team Rankings (per Rivals)
Posted in Uncategorized on 02.02.12 by Merlyn
#2 Texas – Mack Brown always gets the best athletes over what he really needs
#3 Florida – impressive
#4 Ohio State – Urban Meyer must have really laid it on thick
#5 Stanford – this is the latest trend school to go to; after a couple or 8-9 win seasons they will settle back in to mediocrity
#6 Michigan – with OSU they dominated Big 10 country
#7 USC – how long until this kingdom crumbles?
#8 Florida State – see Texas above
#9 Miami (FL) – this is baffling since the U is about to get hammered by the NCAA
#10 Oklahoma – meh
#11 Auburn – the south is so strong that even with castoffs you can get a good class
#12 UCLA – Jim Mora and his B.S. Too bad he can’t coach
#13 Clemson – Dabo Swinney saving his job one day at a time
#14 Texas A&M – being in the SEC helps
#15 Oregon
#16 LSU – did Les Miles forget to set his alarm clock?
#17 Tennessee – Dooley doing what he does best
#18 South Carolina – when’s tee time, Spurrier?
#19 Georgia – DREAM TEAM II! …not
#20 Washington – not bad for who they are
#21 Virginia Tech
#22 Notre Dame - Imagine where they would’ve been ranked had they not gotten overrated Gunner Kiel.
#23 Rutgers – impressive considering Greg Schiano left them high & dry
#24 California
#25 Nebraska – ouch, Pellini
#26 Texas Tech
#27 Virginia – I like their coach
#28 Utah
#29 Vanderbilt – not bad for them
#30 Mississippi State – bad for them; wonder how long this Dan Mullen thing will last
#31 Oklahoma State – big season did not translate to big recruiting
#32 Arkansas – this is pathetic
#33 Missouri – Imagine where they would’ve been ranked had they not gotten Dorial Green-Beckham
#34 Colorado
#35 Purdue
#36 TCU
#37 Arizona State
#38 Oregon State
#39 Louisville
#40 Iowa
#41 Michigan State – they should be better but they all go to Michigan
#42 North Carolina
#43 Baylor – what? No RG3 effect?
#44 Mississippi – barely made the top 50
#45 Arizona
#46 Pittsburgh
#47 West Virginia
#48 South Florida
#49 Cincinnati
#50 Penn State – Hmm? I wonder why they are so low.
