Well, clicking on the article I fully expected to see GT around #45-50. Nowhere to be found. It makes sense on why. Here are the last 5 classes by final rivals ranking.
2013 - #84
2014 - #47
2015 - #39
2016 - #67
2017 - #41
Overall, it's a good read. Some humor on how programs have vastly underachieved on the field based on annual recruiting rankings (UGA, LSU). While other programs have clearly achieved (FSU, tOSU, OU) and overachieved (Clemson).
ACC average rankings over the last 5 years:
1. FSU (#3)
2. ND (#8)
3. Clemson (#11)
4. Miami (#15)
5. VT (#28)
6. UNC (#29)
7. Louisville (#30)
8. NCSU (#42)
9. Pitt (#44)
10. UVA (#48)
11. Dook (#50)
There is no way in hell anyone on here can try and say that GT shouldn't fall somewhere in the Top 50. I mean to be behind Dook (#50), Oregon State (#47), Texas Tech (#46), Vandy (#45) just isn't good.
I know we've seen some improvement in certain years (2014, 2015, 2017) are all classes in the Top 50, but that should be the norm. GT should also be somewhere between 30-35 every 2-3 years, in addition to the 35-50 range.
