NU/Fitz among top 5 overachievers in football success vs. recruiting.

#3 to be exact. #1 is KSU (71st in recruiting, 14th in FEI), #2 is Baylor (44th in recruiting, 21st in FEI), NU is 65th in recruiting, 48th in FEI.

Vandy is 60th in recruiting, 52nd in FEI, and Stanford is 20th in recruiting but 3rd in FEI.

I guess smart kids are the new market inefficiency in college football.

The top 5 biggest underacheivers are littered with top brand names (Texas, USC, & UF) as well as UMD and our opponent Cal at #3. Note, however, that Texas, UF, and USC never oversigned.
