florida's 2026 class is ranked 14th nationally, not even top in the sec. tulsa's last class was ranked higher in the aac than florida's was in their own conference. oregon's "down year" still produced 10 wins and a conference title game appearance, which is florida's ceiling right now. you need elite talent to compete nationally, and a class outside the top 10 isn't building a title contender. development matters, but you can't develop what you don't have. the last five national champions all had top 5 recruiting talent.
