I posted an earlier version of this in August. We've all seen Rivals class breakdown based on class numbers and stars. Another way to look at is by the number of other BCS offers the class has and the number of commits with no other BCS offers. This isn't a perfect method because these are reported by the kids, but it's a start. All offer data from Rivals.
Here's how the 2013 PAC12 class shook out:
Here are the programs CU beat out: Arizona, Boston College, Duke, Iowa St (5), Minnesota (2), Utah (4), Washington St (3)
So clearly we finished dead last. Utah, Arizona, and Wazzu won more total battles, but their class were heavily influenced be a commit or two with a large number of offers. Outside those few guys, their classes look a lot like CU's class: a bunch of 2* and low 3* guys with 0-2 offers a piece.
For comparison's sake, here are the past 4 CU classes:
No surprise that the 2012 class was middle of the PAC(k) in terms of battles won. The unfortunate thing, is that the 2013 class looks at least as bad, if not worse, than the rough recruiting classes from 2009-2011.
