Scout.com: The Ten Biggest & Best New Rivalries Hard to argue too much with number one even though the rivalry hate doesn't really exist, yet. It's coming soon.
My takeaway: Les Miles has done more with slightly lesser recruiting classes than the marketing brand has done with allegedly "better" recruiting classes.
I'm pretty sure that the recruiting rankings were skewed. Bama's had to be better, because Jesus himself was coaching. If that's the case, Saban's had his ass whipped twice in a row with a team that, according to Rivals, has less talent. No wonder the bama fans are so sore now.
