I wasn't interested in working today so I did some data collection/analysis of rosters. It isn't weighted by the starters or two-deep to determine the actual impact of the talent on the performance on the field. For example, Miami has a good number of younger 4-5* kids that aren't on the two-deep.
Conclusions:
LSU will likely fire their coach.
Clemson isn't as far away as people have made them out to be.
SEC has 50% of the 5* kids in the country.
If we drop a game before the ACCCG, it will be to a lesser talent (potentially more experienced) team

MIAMI - 43 4* kids, 2 5* kids (both true freshmen) = 45
