Man, I don't know. You are reaching IMO. Perception means nothing if you don't win on the field. We could have the 25th ranked class, but if we won every game, it wouldn't matter what people's perception is.

I think it just matters to recruits. It's common knowledge that good players want to play with other good players, so it's a little feather in the cap for Shane to be able to reach out to recruits and say something like "Join the BEST recruiting class in the country!" (which he did repeatedly after the 1st ESPN rankings came out). I think it honestly resonates more with recruits than anyone else, and fortunately, recruits are who matter here. Whether the #1 recruiting class means anything to any fans or outsiders doesn't matter at all.
