Most talented teams in CFB
Most talented teams in CFB based on average player rankings, and 5* players. (Current Rosters)
I like numbers and I just find these number rather interesting, and very much eye opening.
I would say tier 1 (elite) would classify as any team with more than 10, 5* players and an average ranking of over 92. Top 5
I’m also curious how much of a talent gap there actually is between the top 5 and everyone else. Or is it really much of a difference?
This is as of today.
Teams Average Player Ranking 5* Players 4* Players
1. Georgia 94.61 19 62
2. Alabama 95.17 14 71
3. Ohio State 94.15 16 60
4. LSU 92.85 10 54
5. Clemson 92.04 12 44
6. Texas 91.67 04 56
7. USC 90.32 06 40
8. Florida State 91.07 05 43
9. Texas A&M 91.31 04 50
10. Oklahoma 91.41 05 57
11. Penn State 91.20 03 57
12. Tennessee 90.61 05 43
13. Auburn 91.22 03 56
14. Michigan 90.84 04 47
15. Miami 90.16 02 42

So......71 of Bama's 85 scholarship players are 4 or 5 star?
May be a little premature to start suggesting they are slipping in any way.
Actually he’s saying 85 are. It’s from the current team talent composite on 247. Clearly it’s wrong though. Says Georgia has only 4 3-star players And Bama has none.
I counted 64 so I think @law_dawg35 is close to correct and 247 isn't.
What's interesting.......Georgia has approx 13 3*s or less on scholarship......7 of those - Davis, Rice, Stokes, Shaffer, McKitty, Camarda and possibly Landers are starters.
Seems like Kirby may know what he is doing.
Lawdawg says 14 five star and 71 four star. Same as 247. Pretty sure they’re the same because he got the numbers from 247 haha.
But yes we have some really good former 3 star players.
Also, just my Gator hater coming out, but UF is #16. Funny how they still think they are on the same level as Georgia.
I didn't list 3* but still i mainly posted it because of the average player rankings, and the number of 5* players, just to show comparison.
By my count Georgia has 16 five stars. Not sure why the numbers are wrong.
Unfortunately talent doesn't always win National Championships. Based on these numbers my only comment is this...
... time to get it done!!!
Gotcha....I read it as 62 total 4 & 5 stars. Not 62 + 19. My bad.
Actually Georgia has 62-64 blue chips on scholarship. Blue chip being a 4 or 5 star.
Couldn't agree more. There may be some math whizzes out there but to me those average rankings are not very helpful. UGA is 94.16 and TheOSU is 94.51 - a difference of .35. What does .35 even mean? Does it say how much faster or stronger or smarter one team is? If so, how much faster, stronger or smarter? .35? .35 of what?
It tells me our players are as good as anyone's. So it's now time to block and tackle.
For me, what's more important is playing as a team with everyone on the same page in terms of effort, positivity and execution.
There must be something wrong here - UF isn't listed and they have caught up with us in recruiting? \s
Exactly, you would think with all their greatness they would be top 5 minimum .........right? haha
Apparently our Dawgs are on top of the talent pool for 2020. Doesn’t mean much if you don’t show, but makes me feel a little better about unanswered questions on the offense.
