January 30, 2005
The Sentinel looked back at the recruiting rankings of five leading analysts (Bobby Burton, Max Emfinger, Tom Lemming, PrepStar magazine and SuperPrep magazine) during the past five years and came up with the consensus top-five classes for each of those years. Here's the breakdown:
<>| 2000 | | 1. | Florida | | 2. | Tennessee | | 3. | Florida State | | (tie.) | Texas | | 5. | Alabama | <> <>| 2001 | | 1. | Florida State | | 2. | LSU | | 3. | Michigan | | 4. | Texas | | 5. | Oklahoma | <> <>| 2002 | | 1. | Texas | | 2. | Ohio State | | 3. | Tennessee | | 4. | Miami | | 5. | Florida State | <> <>| 2003 | | 1. | LSU | | 2. | Florida | | 3. | USC | | 4. | Oklahoma | | 5. | Notre Dame | | (tie) | NC State | <> <>| 2004 | | 1. | USC | | 2. | LSU | | 3. | Florida State | | 4. | Miami | | 5. | Michigan | <> FSU had a consensus top-five class four times, the most of any school. The Seminoles were 9-3 this season and played in the Gator Bowl.
Texas had a consensus top-five class three times. The Longhorns were 11-1 this season and played in the Rose Bowl.
Tennessee had a consensus top-five class twice. The Vols were 10-3 this season and played in the Cotton Bowl.
Florida had a consensus top-five class twice. The Gators were 7-5 this season and played in the Peach Bowl.
Miami had a consensus top-five class twice. The Hurricanes were 9-3 this season and played in the Peach Bowl.
Michigan had a consensus top-five class twice. The Wolverines were 9-3 this season and played in the Rose Bowl after winning the Big Ten title.
Oklahoma had a consensus top-five class twice. The Sooners were 12-1 this season and played for the national title in the Orange Bowl after winning the Big 12 title.
USC had a consensus top-five class twice. The Trojans were 13-0 this season and won the national title in the Orange Bowl after winning the Pac-10 title.
Auburn didn't have a consensus top-five class, and just six times in the five years did the Tigers even have a class ranked in the top 10 by any analyst (8th by Emfinger in 2000; tied for 9th by PrepStar and 9th by Emfinger in 2001; 6th by Rivals, 10th by PrepStar and 10th by Emfinger in 2002; and 8th by Emfinger in 2003). The Tigers were 13-0 this season and played in the Sugar Bowl after winning the SEC title.
Virginia Tech didn't have a consensus top-five class, and only twice in the five years did the Hokies even have a class ranked in the top 10 by any analyst (tied for 9th by PrepStar and 9th by Emfinger in 2001). The Hokies were 10-3 this season and played in the Sugar Bowl after winning the ACC title.
Utah didn't have a consensus top-five class, nor did the Utes have even one class ranked in the top 10 by any of the analysts. The Utes were 12-0 this season and played in the Fiesta Bowl after winning the Mountain West title.
Pittsburgh didn't have a consensus top-five class, nor did the Panthers have even one class ranked in the top 10 by any of the analysts. The Panthers were 8-4 this season and played in the Fiesta Bowl after winning the Big East title.
No non-BCS school finished in any analyst's top 10 in any of the five years. In 2000, a combined 15 schools made the various top 10s; in '01 and '02, it was 16; in '03, it was 17; and in '04, it was 13.
Here's a breakdown by league of the schools that finished in at least one analyst's top 10 at any time in the five years. The second number refers to how many times a league school received mention in only one year; those schools are denoted by asterisks. ACC (6/4)--FSU, Miami (most as a member of the Big East), North Carolina*, NC State*, Virginia*, Virginia Tech*; Big Ten (5/3)--Michigan, Michigan State*, Ohio State, Penn State*, Wisconsin*; Big 12 (5/1)--Colorado*, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M; Pac-10 (5/3)--Arizona State*, Oregon*, UCLA, USC, Washington*; SEC (7/1)--Alabama*, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Tennessee. Independents (1)--Notre Dame.
