Mizzou was ranked ahead of multiple SEC teams in 2013 recruiting. W are also ahead of Oklahoma State, TCU, Kansas, Texas Tech, Kansas State, Iowa State.
Every team in the SEC was in the top 40. The Big 12 champion finished 56th. The highest rated Big 12 team finished 13th. SEVEN teams from the SEC finished above the top Big 12 team.
Can't compete in the SEC? Ole Miss has the #2 class in the country.
There are 33 5* players in the country. The SEC got 21 of them.
The SEC had 4 teams land multiple 5* players. The rest of the conferences combined had 1.
These players didn't all go to the traditional powers, either. 11 of them went to Mississippi, Mississippi State, Auburn, A&M, or Arkansas.
Being in the SEC doesn't automatically make you a "have", but it sure opens a lot of doors.
