All of this is so fucking stupid.
Alabama will get who they get. Always have.
Auburn will get who we get. Always have.
Some years Alabama will get better alleged talent. Some years they won't. Every year they'll have sunshine pumped up their ass by the recruiting services. Been that way as long as I can remember.
When it's all over, some Auburn fans will accuse Bama of inflating the stats and Bama fans will laugh at the "scrubs" that Auburn got, often claiming they took the leftovers Bama didn't want. Heard that with Bryant, Perkins, Curry, Stallings, Fran, DuBose, Shula and Saban. Will never change.
The only thing that matters is what you do with the kids you get.
For most of the last 20 years, Auburn's done pretty good with the classes they've gotten. For most of the last 20 years Bama's super classes haven't really panned out. Maybe things change now. Even if they do, it'll only be temporary.
Unless Auburn buries itself with stupid decisions and botched coaching hires (dammit!), the scales will flip back just as quickly as they flipped over -- if they ever really flipped to begin with. Last I checked one season wasn't a trend.
Every coach since Bryant's had one of those blind squirrel years and had the raving lunatics dragging the houndstooth out of storage. A year or two later, it goes back into mothballs. Unless proved otherwise, that's where we are today.
