Which SEC team has the most talent?
That’s a tough question to answer and can be answered in a number of ways.
Everyone has a differing opinion of recruiting services. They’re right; they’re wrong, or they don’t even matter until they hit campus. There is no right answer, but over the course of the last several years, the recruiting services have been primarily right.
The SEC recruits better than any conference in college football, and the best players are continually funneling into this conference.
So, let’s take a look at how every SEC team has finished in the recruiting rankings year after year, along with win-loss record and winning percentage and according to 247Sports’ Composite Rankings:
