Going to clean this up moar and make it look nice before putting it on Twatter but figured it could provide good fodder for discussion for now. Sorry not sorry @Swaye , it's composite for now. I don't now how to pull the non-composite easily but maybe someone here does.
Petermen obviously trending up even with smaller class sizes. Interesting to see that Utah was as well but fell of this year. USC finally falling off this year. Oregon doesn't look like talent should have been the issue it has been for them. Interesting to see the Cuog! trending down despite their recent "successes". Doovils have stayed upper-middle of the Pac pretty consistently. UCLA consistently doing less with moar as we have all known. Everyone else just sucks.
2020 is shaping up to be as important as we all already know and could be the year Petermen finally gets the top recruiting class in the PAC and a top 10 class nationally. Level Up!

Good chit anyway Doogboat.
Any Duck fans still think that Cristobal will get more out of his 2019 class than CP?

If you go to 247 team rankings, it auto sends you to composite. Just delete the word "composite" from the url and you'll get what you're looking for.
I went ahead and gave you all the links you need so you don't have to jump around, and I sorted it all to the Pac-12 specific for you. Enjoy!
I like the type of talent Oregon is now bringing in. I still prefer the big boys that UW gets, but Oregon has greatly improved in that area. The key is for Oregon to get as close as they can to the talent level of UW in the trenches. If Oregon does that, they are a LaMichael James, Mariota, or Dennis Dixon type of playmaker away from putting them over the top. Those players are rare for sure, bu Oregon has proven they can still get them from time to time.
Also, holy shit UCLA.
at an average rank of 2.67.
Go back any further and we drop off considerably though obviously if you add Eason to our 2016 class I imagine it would bump us a spot or two.
I think Oregon, Washington, USC, Stanford, UCLA, and Arizona need to consider merging with the Big 12 to create the first super conference before it's too late. It's only a matter of time before the SEC rounds up Oklahoma and Texas, then it's ball game.
California, Washington St., Oregon St., ASU, Utah, and Colorado can pull Houston, BYU, Boise St, Fresno St, San Diego St, Hawaii, Nevada, UNLV, Utah St, and Colorado St, and create their own super mid-major conference.

But I went ahead and did it for you on a simple spreadsheet. Check your Inbox brotato.
As I was pulling the average player rating it was clear that the overall class rankings aren't the thing to follow. Too much awarded for having a large class. I'd love to see the chart for the average level of player being added to each school over time.
Thanks and I love you!
The only way looking at recruiting makes sense is using 247 rankings, because while not perfect it is the best of the available bunch, and looking at per recruit average. Who cares if you get 28 kids that are okay, I'd rather have 15 that kick ass.
Funny when you look at this on a per recruit basis, Pete has kicked Oregons ass 4 years straight (BONEM), though to be fair it was by the narrowest of margins this year. Essentially, this chart shows we are reaching the promised land of the best recruiting in the Pac12. Too bad the land is inhabited by dwarfs, but still. Good chit.
