Or it's evidence that 11-2 is better than 8-5 for recruiting.

The 4 best recruiting classes Bronco had were in years after we finished nationally ranked in the AP. I'm willing to bet if we kept that up we would have seen better classes.

Although it could be argued that since we've been independent we are playing more teams that out recruit us making it more difficult to finish in the top 25.

You might want to double check your math for Utah prior to PAC 12.

Utah's jumped 10 spots on average and the last 3 years it's improved each year

Chill buddy. I didn't argue about 247's composite rankings.

I thought it was clear that I was using the 247 composite data.

I truly believe that recruiting rankings are garbage

Your math on Utah is wrong. Your pre-P12 average is off.

Peterson had a a very specific model and excelled at it

Agreed. That's called coaching. Good coaches adjust scheme to fit personnel.

Great post. Very interesting, especially how Utah's P12 inclusion seemed to

Good thought

I think P12 for Utah gained them some big instate BYU recruits

The era of P5 dominance began in full around 2010

Agreed. Kansas regularly ranks higher than us, despite their abysmal FB record.

This seems to debunk the "Bronco was a terrible recruiter" myth. It also shows

The real problem is that BYU has yet to have a breakthrough season as indy

Which was statistically shown to be almost impossible to accomplish several yrs

#4 is a good thought.
