ESPN recruiting job rankings, 1-65
The following five factors were weighed by our experts on a scale of 1 (worst) to 5 (best). Max total points per team were 25. Within the 1-65 rankings, ties among teams with equal points were broken by a panel vote of RecruitingNation experts:
1. Favorable geography/local recruiting territory.
2. Recruiting/football budget. Sources of data were most current available information, including the data collected HERE and HERE, and original research by ESPN's recruiting reporters and team of scouts.
3. Facilities to attract recruits.
4. Next-level considerations.
NFL alumni and identifiable pro prospects who provide evidence to recruits that they can play at the next level.
5. Other intangibles including but not limited to winning tradition, game-day experience and academic considerations.
(Example: Schools with a positive tradition to sell to recruits could receive a "5" in this category, schools with academic restrictions that represent a hurdle in recruiting could get a "1." If there were no discernible positive or negative intangibles, panelists were instructed to give a "3" in this category.)
======
1. Georgia Bulldogs
2. Ohio State Buckeyes
5. LSU Tigers
6. Alabama Crimson Tide
7. Florida Gators
Florida is among college football's strongest brands and the Gators reside in one of the most plentiful states for talent, but must compete with Florida State and, to a lesser extent, Miami and others for recruits. Any coach should be able to get players here, but there's work involved.
8. Florida State Seminoles
11. Auburn Tigers
16. Tennessee Volunteers
17. Miami Hurricanes
34. South Carolina Gamecocks
36. Missouri Tigers
58. Vanderbilt Commodores
