I don't want to hear the excuses for Mack Brown's past 5 years, his performance with that kind of recruiting power is absolutely pathetic.
While we're on the subject of underachieving teams, how many 5 stars has UGA had in the past 5 years? They never do shit and usually have top 20 recruiting.ever.year.
Yeah, you may want to pause your circle jerk and actually look at records. For only the second time in 5 years Bama goes to a non-championship game and decides not to show up, and still only loses from a fumble on the last drive down by 1 score. Meanwhile this impressive Bignottwelve has Texas and Baylor go back to back in spectacular embarrassment.
Texas hasn't pulled five star guys in years, since about '08 or '09. Mack Brown was always Mr. February, until he wasn't. Once he lost that he lost the main thing he brought to the table to win games. Texas has struggled for five years now and finally pulled the plug on a guy who admitted he put it on cruise control.
Texas has many distinct advantages in recruiting so the next guy should be able to turn things around pretty quickly. But the roster they are trotting out right now has many more three star guys than five star, and most of those rare five star guys are just getting a rating bump because Texas was going after them.
Did you read beyond the numbers?
SEC 5-1: The SEC still has Alabama, Auburn and Vanderbilt (against Houston) to play. But again, the SEC has been impressive.
So obviously doing the math... 5-2. The SEC still has Auburn and Vanderbilt... and Missouri (which wasn't in the email).
Hard to separate evaluation and development. Chris Simms and Garret Gilbert were both really highly regarded, but neither were good college qbs. Were they overrated or just never developed?mack's problem is he can't evaluate qb talent for shit. he had to be begged to take vince. colt fell into his lap and was a 3 star that turned into the most accurate passer in collegiate history. mack was there 16 years and hasn't recruited a qb worth anything since colt 8 years ago. how can you go 8 years without getting someone in a state loaded with qb talent?

Otoh, he could have had RGIII, Johnny Football, and probably Jameis Winston and Cam Newton over the last few years.
I have no idea why Alabama tries to force the passing game so much to be honest, every time Henry ran the ball he got ~5 yards if not some crazy break away touchdown (keep in mind he's a freshman).

Look like Bama did not take OK seriously and got bitch slapped like they did with Utah in 2009 Sugar Bowl.
GG was overrated, that HS out there is a magnet for football. you get a bunch of kids that developed early and you've basically got a team full of ringers playing. good for winnning state championships but you don't really know the talent. also, the way the ratings services work is circular. greg davis (the former OC) did a bad job developing talent as well.
could have also had trevor knight, apparently.

The flying body slam was pretty impressive
