[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 722644, member: 2299"] I mentioned rivals rankings for just that reason. Rivals also has a similar difference in rankings for the two classes. So then look at the top 18 or top 17. It's not going to change the comparison. As far as dropping the weaker players isn't biased. It's reality. Not every player plays the same amount so it doesn't make sense to go strictly by an average rating to evaluate. It's why ranking services don't just use average star rating to rank. Adding another player at worse means you have someone else who doesn't contribute at all. It doesn't "cancel out" the addition of the top rated player. For instance, if you had a class of 15 vs a class of those same exact 15 but also add 10 others, the second class cannot be worse. Worst case scenario is that the 10 extra are scrubs and both cases are left with the same 15. More likely those extra 10 contains players that will contribute and so are a benefit to the second case. But it wasn't as big, which isn't a difference you can hand waive away. Yes, if you add players that the class didn't actually have it would be top 30. But it didn't feature those guys, and so wasn't top 30. You seem to just want to look at average rating and want to neglect that recruiting is also a volume game. Two classes that have the same average rating, but one features 10 more recruits aren't the same class, especially if the larger class has more top end players. 2010 was a significantly smaller class, featured lower top end talent, a worse average, [/QUOTE]
