Evidently not the football war.

absolutely shocking. the SECs been the best conference for the last 40 years

The SEC has been npulling in the top rated classes for the past 7 or 8 years.

What's interesting is that the SEC is pulling recruits in from everywhere, not just cold weather places. Granted, Mark Ingram is from Michigan, but take a look at the QB's in that league. Matt Stafford, Jevon Snead, and the kid from Alabama (amongst others) are all from Texas. I know that Tennesee has a number of kids from California. The SEC right now has a swagger and is looking everyone in the eye and telling them "come play for us, we're the best."

a rising tide raises all ships-which is why a lot of this fear about TCU or UT or UH is overblown. So its fine with me if Texas schools do great in recruiting. I want the State of Texas to have a reputation that this is where the best football is played. I want recruits from around the country to believe that. I want big games against great teams on my schedule-that's how you raise the profile of the program. CUSA especially desperately needs a breakthrough here-nationally nobody gives a damn whether you win CUSA unless you beat a big dog like a TCU or a Tech. Right now recruits consider the SEC the best football in the country and all schools benefit

SEC with 6 of Top 10 Classes in Country

Proof that a reputation for great academics is not a highly effective recruiting tool.

one would think that USC may get some of tennessee's recruits and jump ahead of them

woo hoo. awesome!
