Surprisingly, Florida State is the only ACC program in the top 10. Coming in at third, the Seminoles have long been considered one of the elite recruiting programs in the country, and have obviously continued that trend over the last five years. Only a No. 10 finish in 2013 kept FSU from possibly leapfrogging Ohio State into second place.
Judge Farrell: ACHIEVED. A national title in 2013 and a playoff appearance mean the ‘Noles are playing up to their recruiting level and Jimbo Fisher is one of the top recruiters in the game.
4. LSU
5. UGA
6. USC
7. Auburn
8. Notre Dame
9. Texas A&M
10. UF
11. CLEMSON
Ranks last five years: 22, 6, 4, 13, 14 -- 11.8 average
Judge Farrell: OVERACHIEVED. For a team outside the top 10 to appear in the national title game and win it the next year, you can only say that Clemson achieved more than expected, although this is a close call. You could easily say ACHIEVED here as well.
15. MIAMI
Ranks last 5 years: 11, 21, 26, 12, 19 -- 17.8
Judge Farrell: UNDERACHIEVED. A 32-20 record isn’t horrible, but it isn’t great either for being 15th here. Zero ACC divisional titles for the Canes in the last four seasons isn’t good either.
28. VIRGINIA TECH
Ranks last 5 years: 28, 42, 24, 26, 23 -- 28.6
Judge Farrell: ACHIEVED. A division title under Justin Fuente pushed the Hokies to a 32-21 record in four seasons at No. 28 on this list.
T29. NORTH CAROLINA
Ranks last 5 years: 30, 24, 29, 24, 39 -- 29.2
Judge Farrell: ACHIEVED. The bar gets lower down here on the list and a division title and a 32-21 record, just like the Hokies, is good enough at UNC.
32. LOUISVILLE
Ranks last 5 years: 29, 36, 32, 36, 41 -- 34.8
Judge Farrell: OVERACHIEVED. One year in the AAC helps, but a 38-14 record is very good for a Louisville team just outside the top 30 here.
42. NC STATE
Ranks last 5 years: 53, 44, 36, 30, 46 -- 41.8
Judge Farrell: UNDERACHIEVED. With a losing record over four seasons you’d think NC State would do a smidge better being on the fringe of the top 40.
44. PITTSBURGH
Ranks last 5 years: 37, 31, 70, 45, 35
Judge Farrell: ACHIEVED. Three winning seasons out of four and an overall record of 29-23 is solid enough for Pitt.
