Episode notes
Blue Chip Ratio Predicts Champions
- Blue chip ratio measures the percentage of four and five-star recruits over four years to predict national championship potential.
- Teams need to sign roughly 50% or more blue chip players to seriously contend for a title.
Talent Threshold for Titles
- Top teams like Alabama and Ohio State maintain blue chip ratios above 70%, showing consistent elite recruiting.
- High blue chip ratio doesn't guarantee titles, but teams below thresholds rarely win national championships.
Recruiting Isn't Everything
- Michigan and Clemson have lower blue chip ratios compared to perennial powerhouses but still won or competed for titles.
- This suggests recruiting alone isn't enough; coaching, development, and culture also play crucial roles.
