The bottom line is ND nearly always underperforms relative to its recruiting rankings, and good programs do not. The most likely explanations are institutional softness and poor coaching, not over-ranking by recruiting services (which would gain little by pumping up ND's classes).

As mentioned by others, the academic/self-selection angle/excuse is largely debunked by Stanford's extended period of success, and making matters worse, our recruiting performance has slowly but surely deteriorated since the Weis days.

We have become a shittier version of Stanford with a far more delusional fan base under the stewardship of our megalomaniacal and mercenary leadership.
