Recruiting landscape article

[KTF]

Thought this was a good article about the landscape of college football recruiting and it's affects on programs. Might explian why there have been some demise of elite programs around the country.

"The trend of dispersing recruits hasn’t just driven up the middle; it’s weakened – at least in depth – the old top. Texas, Michigan, Penn State, Notre Dame, Florida and other powerhouses aren’t in the current BCS rankings. There’s no longer an endless well of talent to dip into. Some of those guys are on other campuses, some lining up against them."


"Now it’s Missouri with the gun-slinging star. Now it’s Auburn with the to-die-for quarterback. Now it’s Oregon with perhaps the best collection of skill players. Now it’s Boise and TCU churning out NFL draft picks."

"The recruiting world has gone flat. The college football polls have gone mad."

This is probably the last nail in the coffin of the BCS make believe National Championship Series. Bring on the D-1 football playoff system. And let the SEC and Big Ten prove on the field that Boise, Utah and TCU can't win a national championship game.

This also looks good for FCS recruiting prospects. Can't get any playing time as QB at University of Washington, ok, find yourself an FCS school that needs a starting QB, like Indiana State.
