not too shabby...this is what i call a bounce back year....NR and no bowl to top 20 and NYD bowl....25 ranked recruiting class after 05 to #2....
i see improvement everywhere.
don't disagree with you...hate to have to go thru years like 05.I agree 100%, but that does not absolve Phil for letting us get to that point in the first place. A losing season is not so easily forgotten, esp one in which Vandy lays the wood to us.
yep. and notice it's the same SEC schools we always talk about competing with....as we get better, no one else is really getting worse.5 out of the top 10 SEC schools. That looks good for the SEC
if i've said it once....
don't put too much stock into recruiting rankings.
1-10 = the same
11-20 = the same
21-30 = the same
and so on.
i have a friend that did a statistical analysis on the correlation between recruiting rankings and results. his analysis showed that there is only a 0.4098 out of a possible 1.0000 correlation between recruiting rankings and winning percentages since December of 2002, believe it or not. Now, his analysis could not take into account the strength of the opponents, but, nonetheless, it is a good baseline with which to start the argument.
