Someone at 247 (intern?) went and tabulated the talent on each FBS team and ranked them. Found it interesting that according to the "experts" we should be around 50 in the country.

That's just downright funny!

I'm not even going to open that or try and imagine what metric was used. Call me closed minded. How is anyone to know? I guess we could invent something like games with a score to try and figure it out.

Provably 247 composite recruiting ranking for each player on 85 roster.

For some strange reason, I troubled myself to look at that. For the same reason that I am one of those who can't avoid looking at a car wreck. There's 40+ teams ahead of us. With all but a very few of them, I am pretty sure we would win most head to head matchups. "Want to" is extremely more important than some imaginary ranking system of talent.

Yeah, but you sure can measure stupid.

Looks to me like a ranking of the current freshman class- prob. not far of when you consider 5 star and 4 star factories.

Phil Steele has a rating/ranking on every player by position signed by major schools.This is based on his complilation of all rating services he can utilize. for ex--Vic alexander is listed this yr as the #61 best LB in the country and the best of our class.
That maybe where they are getting this.

Guess we have really good coaching.

Right, like anybody can definitively say Vic is #61. Not #60 mind you, or possibly #62, but exactly #61. Give me a break.
