With college recruiting this year the ......?

SEC finished with 10 teams in the Top 25 followed by the ACC & Big 10 with 4 each, the Big 12 & Pac 10 with 3 each and then Notre Dame. Do you think this is why folks claim the SEC is such a tough conference?

Update:

Really Dawgmeat .... then I guess you don't answer too many college football questions during the season.

Update 2:

Go Bucks - Well I can understand that but I like to see the sleepers creep into the recruiting wars. I thought it was fantastic that Stanford was in the Top 20 in recruiting which certainly says something for their coach. Personally, I hope your Buckeyes stomp USC in Columbus this year.

Update 3:

Well thank you Dawgmeat in that you gave me a good answer. Hey I agree with you but it does say something about conferences if they dominate by having so many teams in the Top 25. When LSU won the title two years ago Hester was a key element of the offense but when he was recruited he was a lowly 2 star player. You never know. I was hoping to get Felicia C. on here because he rants so much about the Big 12.

    i pay no attention to anybody who claims one conference is the best year after year. they clearly dont know a damned thing about college football and are only sharing their homer opinions. i tend to not get into debates with uneducated people. its a waste of time.

    seriously .... rating college football players before they ever play a single down in college football ..... seems pretty stupid to me. if it was that easy there would never be cases like Ryan Leaf being drafted #2 overall or Joe Montana getting drafted 82nd overall.

    i said i dont get into debates .... i never said i dont let people know what morons they are.

    Zinger - overall, the SEC is certainly one of the better conferences in college football and they are most certainly the best from time to time .... but they are nowhere near as dominant as some people make them out to be. of the 6 major conferences in the past 20 years, the SEC has the worst out of conference record of any conference when both teams are ranked. SEC teams get fat off weak non conference schedules and dont do so hot when they play tough teams from other conferences. but that convo is for another time. in my opinion though .... the SEC was the best conference LAST year. next year .... we will have to wait and see. i just dont like homers .... period. i went to Washington, so i love Pac 10 football .... but ill crack on Pac 10 homers just as quickly as ill crack on SEC homers. like the morons who claimed the Pac was the best last year because they went 5-0 in the bowl games. lol ... please. what the 5-0 in bowl games did was restore some of the respect the Pac lost during the season after some VERY bad out of conference losses. the Pac 10 simply will not be the best conference in any given year until UCLA and Washington return to form. they are historically 2 of the 3 best teams in the conference and the Pac needs them back if they want to be in the best conference conversation.

    as for Felicia and the Fraud 12 .... lol ....... the entire country saw what frauds they were in December and January.

    lol @ im a USC fan. i wish. Trojans .... Dawgmeat. Huskies .... Dawgmeat. which makes more sense. hmmmm. we did just steal USCs offensive and defensive coordinators however (Sarkisian - head coach, Holt - DC) .... maybe thats what the Texas homer was referring to. i went to WASHINGTON slick, i cant stand USC.

    Texas finished with a good class, that's all I really care about. More importantly they finished with a better class then nOU. As far as the rest of the Big 12, I couldn't care less. For those who think ranking incoming classes before they ever step on campus is a waste of time, a lot of money gets spent doing it every year so someone must think it's worthwhile.

    Don't pay much attention to Dawgmeat, he's a bitter USC fan who thinks everyone is a moron if they don't agree with him. Especially anyone who favors a SEC or Big 12 school. I'm thinking it's just jealousy. Go Pac 1!

    45-35

    Enough Said!

    Hook'em!!!

    Oh good, Washington. Not even the good part of the Pac 1. I see your new coach doesn't fall too far from his mentor. Already had his hands slapped for a couple of recruiting no-no's.

    good for the SEC, just because you get the talent, doesn't mean that you know how to coach it

    Ohio State finished in the top 5...I honestly could care less what any other Big 10 did as far as recruiting...because I want to beat those teams...am I wrong!??!?!

    It's because the SEC has the highest graduation rate.
