Jamie Newberg says Recruiting Rankings "don't mean crap"

Quoth Scout.com Analyst Jamie Newberg in the Macon Telegraph this morning (on Georgia's 2007 class): "From a rankings perspective maybe it's a little below the bar Mark Richt has set," Newberg said, "but recruiting ratings don't mean crap. "

Now that's refusing to toe the company line.

Kudos to you, Jamie, for saying what we all knew to be true. This day more than any other brings out a crippling right brain/left brian battle for college football fans. Take South Carolina for example. We know, intellectually, that South Carolina's highly touted class will be playing in the Meineke Car Care Bowl next year (which as all Gamecock fans will tell you, is the best year EVA!). However there's a certain testosterone-driven need to not only beat the pathetic regional whipping boy our neighbors to the east, but to crush him and drive his shreiking across the landscape. It's irrational. It's counterproductive. And I'm not going to talk about it anymore. For at least the next 15 minutes.
