CPA's ratings had them ranked 16th at the end of the season last year and Lindy's has them at 30 for this year.

I'm sure one could make an argument for 10 years. However, ten years ago, Dennis Franchione was leaving Alabama for A&M, Mike Price was hired and then fired for his proclivity for strip clubs, and the Mike Shula era began. Are those data points significant in describing the current state of the Alabama program?

You probably shouldn't put ISU on that list anymore.

If Steele Jantz puts it all together. And like I've said, ISU has gotten better every year the last three years under CPR. The Schedule has also gotten harder all three years. But the team has a lot better starters now, and actually has depth that its never had. The team is still on the ups.

I think eight to ten years gives a pretty good picture of where a program is. That's two full cycles of players and shows both immediate past success as well as tends.

Ten years is more of a judge of the state of a program, but prestige and conference alignment changes happen slowly. Missouri for example did not have a winning season between 1983 and 1997, and today they are an SEC team. Much has changed in 15 years. |

Places a TON of emphasis on these stats:
Returning starters Returning stats I'll use Missouri's receivers, for example. In Phil Steele's methodology, losing Wes Kemp and Jerrell Jackson is a huge negative factor, because they were returning starters who accounted for 20 percent of Missouri's receiving yards. Never mind that the two guys who replace them as "starters" (Marcus Lucas and LD Washington) actually accounted for 26 percent of Missouri's receiving yards. Returning starters isn't necessarily a great thing. For another example, Tennessee returns 21/22 starters from a team that went 1-7 in SEC play. Is that really something that should be considered a team strength? Getting Bray back from injury is big for them, but their defense and offensive line were not good. Returning all the pieces there is not a positive in my opinion (but it is in Steele's).

What do you think about DGB's contribution? Are we talking A.J. Green/Julio Jones here? Or more of an off-the-bench guy? |

Overall, it wasn't Missouri's stellar play that earned them a spot to be in the SEC, it was outside factors centered around the conference network goals that got Missouri in. You're gonna have to prove it before people are going to start recognizing you as an "SEC team" in the light you tried to associate it as.
