WoodyHayes1951 Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 The SEC slaughters the competition. The Big Ten, Pac-12 and ACC are all close and the Pac-12 better thank USC for that since they have more than HALF of their top recruits SEC 67 Big Ten 37 PAC-12 34 ACC 30 Big XII 17 Big East 1(South Florida has a top recruit) Notice : obviously not all the recruits have committed but I don't expect too much to change in terms of the conference rankings. The ACC might jump to #2. I think that will probably happen. 1 Quote Link to comment
Excel Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Thanks, I'm surprised to see the Big XII doing so poorly. I guess aside from OU and UT where would kids want to go? Quote Link to comment

Still early but I don't expect high profile recruits to be interested in TTU,TCU,Baylor,ISU,KSU,KU or WVU. Diet Oklahoma might be able to get some good recruits from the State of Texas but yeah, It's an OU and UT centered conference. The OU vs UT game is now the only "National" conference game the Big XII has too since A&M left. Quote Link to comment
RedRedJarvisRedwine Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 This stat befuddles me! $EC biased at its finest! Question..... Let's say everyone BAMA has secured commitments from are committed to Nebraska and vice versa. Do these rankings still hold up? Quote Link to comment
Excel Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I don't think they see where kids commit and then rank them afterward. Top to bottom when you look at the SEC they have better facilities, better recruiters, more passionate fans, better pro potential, more TV time and more of an emphasis on football than any other conference. They're number one for a reason. Media attention (and theorized bias) follows success, it doesn't necessarily create it. If I'm a top recruit I'd consider just about every SEC school save for UK, Vandy and the schools from Mississippi though MSU is improving greatly. Yea we all know they over sign and otherwise "cheat" blah blah blah save the spiel. It is what it is. They're just plain better. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I'd be interested to see the distribution of the recruits' home states. I'm guessing a lot of them stayed within a 200 mile radius, which explains a lot of it. The south's population has been increasing. Quote Link to comment

I'm guessing a lot of them stayed within a 200 mile radius, which explains a lot of it. The south's population has been increasing. Nothing to do with population. It has to do with quality of HS football. No one claims that NY football is better than GA football even though population blow them out of the water. Quote Link to comment

A place that already had a large number of recruits has also been gaining in % of national population which only increases the number of recruits who are from there. I wasn't saying more people lived in the southern areas than in NYC/Boston/D.C. Quote Link to comment
