[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 864421, member: 2426"] I am not a fan of the "class rankings" and haven't been for a very long time. Even just the average stars ranking is nowhere near accurate in my opinion. Once you get below the top 30-40 recruits, the ratings are nowhere near precise. Once you get below the top couple of hundred recruits, it is all a crap shoot. Is the top 3* really that much worse than the bottom 4*? One raises the average stars and the other drops it. The commercial websites make money by getting people excited about the rankings. Those lists are only useful as entertainment. It is interesting to me that people who argued before that the team ranking number is important no matter how many recruits are counted are now saying that it must be taken into account, and people who argued that the number or recruits should be taken into account are now lambasting the final number disregarding how the number is calculated. Many (if not most) people look for numbers to justify their beliefs, or justification of their beliefs instead of deciding on measurements and using them consistently. After all is said and done, the team rankings derived for entertainment websites will not win or lose a single game. What is important is that the team fill the spots that are needed with good athletes, develops those athletes, and coaches those athletes. If GT does [B]all [/B]of those things, they will win games, no matter what the entertainment websites publish. If GT does not do [B]all [/B]of those things, they will not win games, no matter what the entertainment websites publish. [/QUOTE]
