Studies have been done and posted here repeatedly demonstrating that you have to have a certain amount of blue chips to have a real chance at a title. There's no way around it, even with a Johnny or two on the team.
True but there are exceptions. How many five star players were on TCU's roster in 2022 when they played in the national championship game?
Of course there are exceptions.
But to get the "exceptional" 3 star, you have 1,000s to pick from.
Or you could just go grab a 5* who is much more likely to "hit".
Imagine there are 2 tables.
Table A and Table B.
Table A has 5 paper bags on it.
Table B has 100 paper bags on it.
I tell you that each table has one bag with $1,000 inside.
People claiming that "stars don't matter" would say that your chances of getting the $1,000 are the same, no matter which table you pull from. Their reasoning? Cause one time years ago a guy grabbed the right bag from Table B.
