| 0:00.0 | All right, Brian, we got a mailbag. |
| 0:20.4 | And we have some pretty good submissions in here. |
| 0:23.3 | We've seen them. |
| 0:24.0 | We've started to star some aside. |
| 0:26.0 | For you guys that are aware, if this is by chance your first ever mailbag, the way to submit a question, you put a mailbox emoji or you can put MB for mailbag. |
| 0:34.0 | We're going to go for about an hour and we're going to cycle through as many questions as we can. But I saw that we have some good ones in here to get us started here, |
| 0:42.4 | Brian. Also, super chats. We'll get bumped to the top if you want your question answered right |
| 0:46.9 | right away. Justin Kane, what do you think about blue chip ratio predicting wins and championships? |
| 0:57.2 | I mean, look, you need good players to win, right? |
| 1:00.3 | But the flaw in this has always been that people look at, okay, your blue chip ratio is X percent, so that means that you're winning. But what they don't take |
| 1:12.9 | no account is not every team is playing a four star at that position. So I pointed this out like |
| 1:17.6 | Ohio State in 2015 team had a couple five stars that hardly ever played or or like a guy like |
| 1:24.5 | Curtis Grant who was a five star who played like he was a solid player. But Darian Lee, who was a three-star, was their stud linebacker that year. And Josh Perry, who was a four-star, but not a top-hundred guy, was a better player than him, too. So you look, oh, five-stars. I'm like, well, yeah, he was a five star, but did he play like a five star? And I just don't think that that's necessarily something that, I think it's |
| 1:51.1 | important from the standpoint of, yes, you need it, but it's not as impactful as people make it |
| 1:58.2 | out to be. I mean, I'll just look at the one for CBS sports, but Elliott did, right? So Ohio State was 90%. Yeah, they were pretty good. Alabama was at 88%. They lost four games last year. Georgia was at 80%. Notre Dame was a 67%. Did it look like a 13% difference in talent between Notre Dame and Georgia this year? No, it didn't. Notre Dame was the more talented |
| 2:18.3 | team, but they had some guys that weren't ranked as high. Texas A&M was number four. |
| 2:23.0 | It's 79. They looked like they had a 12% more talented team than Notre Dame. Oklahoma was |
| 2:29.7 | ahead of Texas, 73 to 72. Does anyone want to argue with me that they have one of those higher |
| 2:35.1 | rate? No, they don't. You've got Florida in the top 15, Miami in the top 15. Miami and Penn State are on |
| 2:40.4 | the same level. Does anyone want to sit here and try to convince me that Miami has a more talented |
| 2:45.3 | team than Penn State? No. Some of these schools have inflated rates because of where they come from where they're |
| 2:53.1 | recruiting primarily from other schools have an inflated rate because of the fact that |
