I do not agree with this guys numbers and analysis although it is another good factor to enter into it. Just too many Teams just not doing as well as expected and that means serious flaws in coaching as I see it. Why it can be one factor but by no means any determining factor.
The way I see it, College Football Programs with a High Blue Chip Ratio and not in Top 25 shows its flaws on it is not just recruiting but how the Coaches develop the Recruits, Players, and into Great Teams, by great Coaches.
Another factor is that Game Plans, Half-Time Adjustments, Special Teams, dealing with Key Injuries, and game day Play Calling and Execution are part of having Great Head Coaching & Staffing, not just Recruiting.
The other Key Factors that need to be included is how many Elite Coaches are in the Conference with Elite Programs that have Staffing, Income, and Resources above others in the conference?
Please feel free to weigh in if you see it another way too, I just think this analysis looks awfully flawed. We shall see how it all plays out. Bama, Ohio State, Clemson and Michigan loo good but i tribute that to Great Coaching up the Recruits. Yet, they totally discounted 45th ULou, 40th WVU, 35th Baylor, & 24th Washington that are still in NCS Selection Race

Article, Excerpts, 2016 Ranking & Link:
The 2016 Blue-Chip Ratio: How close is your CFB team to having title-level talent?
As a benchmark for championship quality, the Blue-Chip Ratio hasn't failed yet. See the numbers for the full Power 5 and more.
The national champion will almost certainly be from this group:
The 13 teams to reach the blue-chip threshold this year are Alabama, USC, Ohio State, LSU, Notre Dame, Florida State, Michigan, Auburn, UCLA, Texas A&M, Georgia, Clemson, and Texas
ACC:
The ACC has two title contenders in Clemson and Florida State, plus a talented Louisville that many have in the top 20. And it made four hires that were widely praised: Justin Fuente at Virginia Tech, Mark Richt at Miami, Dino Babers at Syracuse and Bronco Mendenhall at Virginia. The data shows how much work must be done for those coaches to reach their top goals. Miami is multiple elite classes away from having enough talent to contend for a national title. Virginia Tech’s talent level has slipped precipitously in recent years; Frank Beamer and Co. might have been squandering talent a few years ago, but the Hokies simply haven’t had many elite signees to waste in recent years. I also find it interesting that the Atlantic Division has the ACC’s two best and three worst recruiters while the Coastal teams are clustered in the middle.

Big Ten:
It feels like ages since Urban Meyer lamented the lack of elite talent in the Big Ten. His new complaint might be that it is all clustered in one division. The average Blue-Chip Ratio in the East Division is 30; in the West it is just 6. As if Ohio State and Michigan weren’t enough, Penn State has been recruiting pretty well. Michigan State, the team with arguably the best development and on-field coaching in the league has been rapidly improving; turning wins into more talent could fuel more wins. Poor Maryland, Indiana, and Rutgers. If only they could somehow get into the Big Ten West.

BIG-12:
In the Big 12, that favorite is Oklahoma. The Sooners won the Big 12 and made the Playoff in 2015 before getting smashed by Clemson, a team that does recruit at the title level. Oklahoma sits at 36 percent, good for second in the Big 12, but has been recruiting better in recent years after taking a dip with the 2013 and 2014 classes. Is having an elite QB in Baker Mayfield and a good, but not great, roster enough to break through? History says no. TCU is also a trendy Playoff pick, and the Horned Frogs have been improving rapidly on the recruiting trail, signing more four- and five-stars in the most recent class than in all of the previous three combined. But those previous three classes still count, and a Blue-Chip Ratio of 13 percent is probably far too low to win the biggest prize. With the exit of Baylor as a top recruiting threat, I’ll be interested to see how consolidation of talent at the top changes the dynamics in the league. It could mean two or three extra blue-chip players each for Texas, Oklahoma and maybe TCU. That’s a big deal for a league desperate to field an elite team, as opposed to several very good ones. Texas playing to the level it recruits would help even more.
