There's been some discussion of OU's recruiting ranking among the new SEC teams. Currently, OU's 2023 ranking among new SEC teams is:
Since 2014 (excluding 2020), the SEC would have gotten 3, 1, 1, 3, 4, 3, 3, and 3 teams into the 12-team playoff (average of 2.63).
I think that this type of class is good for a playoff berth about every other year, but probably not good enough to win a national championship. But it's also still a good class to build on. So, was this class good enough for everyone else? What is our ultimate goal as a program on a year-to-year basis, and how well do we need to recruit to get there?
- Overall: 4th on 247, 5th on Rivals, 4th on On3
- Average star rating: 6th on Rivals; Average player rating: 6th on On3, 6th on 247
