Florida St. has already got a couple of great recruits this year so it looks they are heading in the right direction

Notre Dame has the best coach. Florida State has the most talent and better recruiting base.

Michigan is a distant 3rd and really doesn't have anything going for it.

I will go with the Seminoles, although I do have doubts about Jimbo Fisher. I think going "returning to glory" in the ACC will still be easier than Notre Dame will have it facing USC every year.

Michigan. I hate Michigan, but I think Rich Rod is a solid coach, and he'll have them winning soon. It's takes awhile to get his people in spots. He was starting frosh QBs in the B10--that's ugly for anyone. I think they'll end up being back, which will be a good thing for the B10.

FSU was very young this past season , they bring alot of talent back they could return to glory as early as next season

I'll take Florida State. When you have great competition within one state (i.e. Florida, Miami, and now USF) along with Florida State, you can't settle for mediocrity, and their fans/university wont. They'll get their fair share of athletes from Florida, as well as other southern states, and when they get a formidable defense back, they will be able to turn around quickly.

ND has the best coach of the three, but between academic restriction, and it being in the middle of frickin Indiana, it's a tougher recruiting spot than either FSU or Michigan. Because of coach AND weather, I would say Michigan will be the slowest of the 3. I think they'll be back, but it won't be quickly.

I think Florida State, based also on the recruiting advantages. Now that Bowden is out I think more kids will come out of the woodwork. Nothing against Coach Bowden but playing for a legend doesn't mean the same for some kids as it does for others.

What about those who say Notre Dame has a recruiting edge due to their independent schedule and national TV contract? Maybe that don't matter anymore in the 21st century?

Michigan is very close to turning it around and anyone who follows the program would tell you that. I do think that all 3 of them will turn it around soon though.
