I get what you're saying. And agree to a point.... I don't feel there's much difference in talent after top 12-15. Now, that's when coaching makes a big difference. That 09 and 14 was packed with highly sought out recruits, my memory fails me sometime; age and kids. I think them been under the valued by those services worked in our favor. Just like clockwork every 3-5 years we should make noise in the SEC.
