the Badgers and Hawkeyes aren't known for stacking top 20 recruiting classes
UW might finish in the top-25 this year, for the first time in 247 history.

If I’m not taking the field, I guess Auburn. They’ve shown the best ceiling in a division that is you win, you’re one win away. Granted the recent UGA history has been an issue.

Auburn has to get by Bama and LSU each year and UGA in conference, plus upstarts.  They won the West one year with two losses.

USC has a lower bar of course.

If Auburn played in the East, I'd suspect that they'd have a better shot of making the final 4.  UGA and FL are tough, but not on the same level as Bama and LSU.  Plus the rest of the West lackeys are generally stronger than those in the East.

The East won the h2h vs the West in 2018 and it was split 50/50 in 2019 (before the SECCG).

Sounds similar to the B1G West vs. B1G East. The biggest difference between the two is that the B1G East has OSU.

I think the SEC W is tougher.  After Florida and UGA, both of whom Auburn played, the East falls off dramatically. UGA is paired with Auburn so they don't get a break there.  The Aggies are usually decent, MSU can be thorny, Arkansas, well, is Rutger.

Getting that great QB is the key, and he could turn up from Wake Forest on a grad transfer or something.

in context of making the CFP, the weakest teams in the division are not a factor

Without checking the prognostications I bet Arkansas beats Rutgers in the ""players drafted" ratio.

Arkansas should be decent, 7-5ish, and better, but perhaps so should Rutger.

Maryland should be decent also.  Should.  Great word.

UGA should be better too.

I saw a blurb they moved to the top of the 247 thingee, yay.

Watch out for UNC...

Maryland should be a thing.  Are they and Penn State on each other's radar more than average?  If UMD doesn't face the same academic hurdles UVA does, then straddling PA and VA, with some decent talent in-state (for its size), the Terps should routinely matter.
