I took the SBC and MWC. I took 247 rankings nationally recruiting and then compiled the Massey ranking for each school at the end of that season. I would have gone back a couple more years, but GS and App were obviously FCS.

Then, in the middle, computed the +/- between avg recruiting ranking and avg massey rating.

In both conferences, you obviously have teams that are outliers, of course. App and Air Force are the biggest ones. Of course AF is one because of being a service academy, so they aren't really recruiting the same as the rest of CFB.

But, even with the outliers, 70% of the schools fall within 25 spots in regards to their average recruiting ranking and average final massey rating. The average difference for the SB was +12.22 +/- and the average for the MWC was 14.7+/-. Without AF in the MWC, that number would be just under 12 +/-.

Wow based on your spread sheet Texas State really under performed more than I thought over the past four years.

Yeah, and in my opinion, the experiment was a massive failure. Time for a new coach. Year 3 will only make things worse for them.
