UGA will likely continue to have elite recruiting because of location.  Arkansas?  I saw signs of hope earlier, but maybe they are currently too thin.  Other programs face recruiting challenges without shennanigans.  Maybe OU replaces Alabama as the power in the west, or Texas.
very likely but, that's what was said about Miami, FSU, and Florida back in the late 80s and 90s when all tree programs were thriving with the glut of talent in Florida
heck, there was a time when Nebraska was on such a roll that folks thought they might perhaps drop back to a couple losses a season after Osborne retired - similar to Saban today

Florida recruits get split between three major schools in state, and others nearby of course.  UGA doesn't have that, with about half the population as FL.  It's an advantage in recruiting.  Ohio State has the same kind of advantage.  But, yes, any program can slip, we see how USC has done of late.  Texas is still recruiting well.

The most stable program in my view is Ohio State, I can't see how they are likely at all to slide very far.  And they have never been bad for long.

Ohio State really needs a couple strong rivals to give them the business

like Purdue and hopefully Nebraska this Saturday!

Ohio State has been so crazily consistent with coaching changes that haven't resulted in much downturn in production.

Even Cooper's teams did well, except against Michigan.

Not sure if it's something intrinsic, or just good fortune.   It's pretty remarkable, honestly.

I'd say they made a pact with the devil, but they never seem to have to pay up.

Only program of note in a large state with good football.  The Catholics used to go to ND, that appeal has lessened.  They are a Blue Blood and I imagine every player in Ohio nearly wants to play for them.  And they do well and have rabid fans.  They have no recruiting weaknesses except perhaps being less prominent in the SE.

Grinch is interviewing for the TT HC job.  If he goes, I wouldn't mind GP for OU DC.

That would be interesting.  His defensive wizardry hasn't been much on display the last 2-3 years.

If TCU can recruit elite players, they can be relevant, and vice versa.

This indeed is interesting to note.  I imagine we all believe Wake is a mirage.  LSU will likely get thumped.  It's been a while since UGA was a 37 point favorite in a conference game.
