Texas Football didn't have a particularly high assessment of the 2007 SMU Recruiting Class aka "the greatest Class in modern Day History":

1. Texas 5.71

2. Texas A&M 3.43

3. Texas Tech 2.33

4. Baylor 1.84

5. TCU 1.18

6. Houston 1.08

7. UTEP .59

8. North Texas .45

9. Rice .35

10. SMU .28

Being the eternal optimist that I am I believe Texas Football is way off and Phil Bennett's 6th recruiting class is much more mediocre(as opposed to dead last). I'd definitely put SMU's class ahead of Rice and North Texas but I'm just a cheerleading homer.

BTW according to Texas Football, their scoring system "assigns points for players who appear in the top 100 lists compiled by Texas newspapers and Internet Scouting Services. Bonus Points were added for national top 100 lists and for nationally ranked out-of-state and junior college players.

This system is completely unfair to Coach Bennett who we know doesn't recruit off Top 100 Lists-generally doesn't even bother to offer them. Newspaper lists suck because they measure pre Senior season guesstimates which often has very little to do with how hard a player was actually recruited.
