Since we talk about the NFL now to recruits

It's all about the QB. You can have 21 4 or 5 star players on both sides of the ball, but if you don't have a QB, it's hard to beat good competition.

UCF, Oklahoma and Clemson --- has had excellent QBs
The underperformers have had mediocre QBs.

Recruiting classes rankings should be adjusted by multiplying the QBs rating by a factor of 10 and adding it to the rest.

Very true. Or running backs, in Bama's case. They haven't exactly trotted out the top QBs until Tua came along. And have run a very vanilla offense.

Alabama has definitely been the exception, but they've made up for it by pretty much being better than everyone else in every other facet of the game.

It's also about developing and keeping the QB talent you recruit. Look how many good QBs left TAMU and UF to star at other schools and the NFL while their school flopped at the QB position. LSU has been the graveyard of QBs. Same with Miami.
