Scout and Rivals have their recruiting rankings going back to 2002. I decided take each season from 2006 to present and see where BYU stands compared to their opponents strictly by looking at 5 year relative recruiting ranking averages. For example, BYU's overall average recruiting rating from 2002-2006 on Scout.com was 52. On Rivals during the same time period it was 68. Therefore their average recruiting rating for the 2006 schedule was 60. I went through BYU's and all their opponents' 5 year recruiting ranking from the 2006 season to present. Here are the results:
