No, recruiting table is the 2nd table, and it shows Alabama as # 1 class for 2014. The 1st table is number of NFL Draft Picks and shows Alabama for 2013 with 9 Drafted by the NFL Draft. The reason there are 3 tables Mark Richt Era 2001-2014 are that some folks even on this blog act as if the recruiting rankings are totally B.S. when, as you can see from the 9 NFL Draft Picks of your Alabama last NFL Draft 2013, completely validates the recruiting rankings. The facts are on this point Darviathar that a recruit is far more likely to go on to the NFL if they are ranked one of the top at their position nationally, than not. This point has been proven every year in every study Darviathar. Thus, 3 tables, 1st the # Drafted in the NFL Draft, the rankings in the computers and then the # of wins by that team for the period 2001-2013. For Georgia, Mark Richt has averaged the # 8 recruiting class 2001-2014 (2014 is where they are ranked today with some changes to the table once the final rankings are announced), which you can see on the chart is matched only by Southern California USC for brevity and by LSU, and you can validate those recruiting rankings by these Major Services with how many are Drafted by the NFL with the # of NFL Draft Picks 2001-2013 Mark Richt Era of 66 NFL Draft Picks LSU, 79 by Southern California and 79 for Georgia. I have a 3rd chart at the bottom showing the # of wins by each team 2002-2013. This shows that UGA is # 5 in the nation in # of wins 2001-2013 at 126 wins 2001-2013. It shows too that LSU has considerably more wins with 135, which one would expect with LSU having won 2 national championships Mark Richt Era 1 by Nick Saban and 1 by Les Miles # 3 in # of wins LSU 2001-2013, while Alabama has only 101 wins 47 Losses 2001-2013 for # 31 in wins 2001-2013. It is my contention that recruiting rankings are a very valuable tool, as most of the posters to this blog have also pointed out to determine who the good teams are, that these recruiting rankings nationally are validated by the NFL Draft for these recruits and that the # of wins are validated by the # of NFL Draft Picks, and by the recruiting rankings.

Missouri recruits solid recruiting classes, # 36 last year # 31 this year. Of the 22 recruits last season 4 were 4-Star and of the 26 recruit commitments for 2014 again 4 are 4-Star. Missouri played 4 good teams and won 2 beating Oklahoma State in their bowl game and beating Texas A & M who themselves did not beat anyone who beat a ranked team for the 2013-2014 season. Missouri lost to Auburn and Missouri lost to South Carolina. This is a solid performance. Missouri is ranked for the season # 5 for this. Missouri played 4 teams and lost 2 of the 4. Your wins over Georgia and Florida, which propelled you to national top rankings in the polls 2013, after a very soft schedule until those 2 wins at the time were over ranked teams neither of whom are considered any good. I would not brag so much about what you did coaching up the recruits ranked # 36 or # 31 nationally, when what you did was one year run up your won/loss record playing 4 good teams and having to show for it a win over a Texas A & M team who themselves did not beat any team ranked for the season and Oklahoma State who has their win over Choke-la-homa. Those are your only 2 wins. Not that impressive. It's more impressive to talk about being ranked # 5 in the nation in the AP Poll for 2013-2014 season. You've played 2 seasons in The SEC and are 9 wins 8 losses against SEC opponents. Now, what was it you said about how poorly the Recruiting Services rank only your recruits paid all these millions to rank teams and recruits, and how well your coaching staff coaches up your unfairly poorly ranked recruits so far against The SEC ?
