SEC has 10 schools in the top 25...

And for UK to do so the nation needs to see them progress along the lines of 6-6, 8-4, 9-3 these next three seasons. This is a realistic goal. It will take a lot of hard work and buy in from Stoops coaches, scouts, players, fans, and the administration.

More importantly, if Stoops establishes himself as a good head coach who does what he says he'll do and increases UKs football recruiting sphere of influence throughout the southeast and midwest, the higher quality athletes will come. The quality of his supporting cast of coaches and scouts will be pivotal. They'll need to re-establish relationships that have been allowed to die on the vine due to prior coaching staff neglect!

But if we see 30s-40s rankings three years from now. You'll know Stoops Troops fell short of the necessary athletes and success needed to break into the middle of the pack in the SEC.
