Not trying to be contentious, but figured I’d rank the tiers as so, taking into account the fact Ohio State could drop off with day and Lincoln Riley could be leaving Oklahoma; with recruiting and on field success - note that this isn’t my 2019 season rankings, just where the programs stand today:
Tier 1
1 - Clemson
2 - Alabama
3 - Ohio State
Tier 2
4 - Georgia
5 - Oklahoma
6 - Notre Dame
Tier 3 (not entirely in order)
Penn State
Texas
Washington
Auburn
LSU
Oregon
Michigan
Wisconsin
Texas A&M
Tier 4 - (really irrelevant just making argument sake here)
Florida
UCF
USC
Florida State
Michigan State
Stanford
Mississippi State
Oklahoma State
Washington State
West Virginia
Arizona State
What do you think? Is anyone in the third group really in danger of jumping us?
Does Ohio State still deserve to be up in the upper echelon?
Yes Washington beat us for Asa Turner, but they’re not beating us for Ohio kids.
Would you add to tier 3 - Florida?
