Texas has top notch talent, but they are not alone or even at the top, measured by rivals rankings.
USC recruiting class rankings from ‘07-‘1: 2,8,4,1,4 That’s amazing.
Georgia: 9,7,6,15,5 - Four out of five classes in the top 10.
Florida: 1,3,11,2,12 - Three classes in the top 3
Florida State: 21,9,7,10,2 - Four classes in a row in the top 10
There are many other schools that have had very good recruiting classes over the course of five years or so. Many of these teams are not translating recruiting rankings into wins on the field. Over the past 12 years or so Brown has done as well as anyone in terms of winnign percentage, wins over ranked opponents, BCS wins, national championship appearances, etc. He's no Saban or Stoops, but my most measures he's doing very well when you look at the long view. That said, if current trend continues he'll be forced out, just like anywhere else.
