Spoiler: We didn't make the cut.

No. 6 Washington: The Huskies are a very good team. Chris Petersen is among the best coaches in the country, and they’ve got plenty of NFL talent (from the backfield to the offensive line to the secondary). But … the Huskies don’t have a five-star on their active roster (and no, five-star Jacob Eason does not count this season as he's not eligible to play) nor have they reeled in a top 10 class the last four cycles — anther critical indicator historically for championship game participants and playoff teams. It should be stated that Washington did buck that trend in 2016, so it's hard to rule the Huskies completely out. No team since the start of 247Sports' recruiting database has won a title without at least one of those two things, however. Washington could be the first, but it will be tough slogging against the truly elite teams in the country in terms of talent and coaching (see Alabama vs. Washington in the 2016 Peach Bowl).

TOO LATE. I just bought my flight tickets. God I hate money. What can go wrong?

WHAT

it takes a decent 6/10ish movie and turns it into IMO the greatest historical ever made, in the mold of a Spartacus or Ben-Hur. I'll even throw the 1080p blueray onto an FTP for you to download if you want.

Y’all don’t need stellar play from the QB position, you just need solid play.

Don’t check out of running plays for delusion of grandeur.

Tuck and spin forward and take your 2 yard loss if you have a DL in your kitchen early instead of spinning outside and trying to keep a shit play alive.

Be decisive with your first look if it’s open. And have the balls to step into that throw even if you’re gonna get destroyed.

That’s all you need against the good teams.

A program must have at least one 247Sports Composite five-star prospect on its roster (Every championship game participant and playoff team the last 16 years has had at least one).

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't recall us having a composite 5-star player since Shaq was on the team. Budda wasn't one, so I'm not sure who they think we had on our team in 2016 that would qualify for this criteria. That's a blatant error before they even started their analysis, which isn't a good sign.

But regardless, this kind of "analysis" is just lazy and faulty. To start, it's being based off of a highly subjective measure (composite rankings, which includes ESPN's recruiting staff, a department that has less funding than Fetters' hot dog budget). And that subjective measure doesn't even look at those rankings holistically. If they were to measure the composite rankings of the entire roster, then their analysis would be a lot more convincing. But arbitrarily setting the cutoff at 5-star recruits is just a bad methodology.
