I looked back at 2008's recruiting class
Brad Smelley 2 Star
Mark Ingram 3 Star
Courtney Upshaw 4 Star
Dont'e Hightower 4 Star
Julio Jones 5 Star
Mark Barron 5 Star
Robert Lester 3 Star
Etc........
2007
Marquize Maze 3 Star
Josh Chapman 3 Star
Darius Hanks 3 Star
William Vlachos 3 Star
and the list goes on of how 2, 3 and 4 star recruits and even some walk-ons can produce if they are coached up.
Alabama's 2009 BCS Chmpionship had more 3 , 2 and no star players in that game that I really imagined, 2011's team had a slightly higher star average.

Look at OUs best RB. Walk on who didn't get a scholarship til half way through the season.
But the SEC doesn't have anything to worry about in the polls. Things aren't going to change at all. They haven't changed for Boise and TCU in the polls after all these years. Undefeated SEC teams will be on top. And there is ALWAYS undefeated SEC teams.
