Dellenger notes that CFB is not the NFL< in which drafts are in reverse order of record, which helps everyone compete (unless they make stupid draft picks and trades). But: “It’s almost unfair,” says former Florida coach Steve Spurrier, whose 1996 Gators are the last first-time national champion. “At Alabama, it’s like being in the NFL, winning the Super Bowl and every year getting the first 10 picks in the first round.”
It’s a cycle, industry experts say, and it’s not exclusive to Alabama: a big brand recruits well, wins a title, becomes an even bigger brand, recruits even better, wins more titles."
So can anybody who is not already able to recruit BIUG because of huge stadiums and a whole of Top 10 teams in recent years? "And then there’s TCU, a small private college that’s on a magical ride to the title game. The Horned Frogs defy recruiting projections of success. For instance, over the last four years, they have signed one five-star rated prospect. Georgia has signed 18."
Thinly way to win enough to become one of the perennial top recruiters is to have a staff that can win Big without as much talent as the Bamas, UGAs, Ohio States, LSUs, Texases, etc.
