[QUOTE="roadkill, post: 952396, member: 1555"] All-conference selections, in my opinion, are biased in favor of a team's record. Earlier in this thread I had made a comment about our composite talent ranking contradicting posts about our so-called “lack of talent”. I don’t consider the 247 composite ranking “pseudoscience”. It simply takes imprecise data and averages it together to achieve a more meaningful number. Much has been said about individual recruit ranking’s inaccuracy. However, annual class ratings average much of these individual inaccuracies out of the equation, and composite team rankings, which also factor in transfers and a much larger number of individual ratings, tend to average things out even more. The result is that composite rankings generally correlate pretty well with a team’s success on the field (see “blue chip ratio”). There are exceptions of course. Miami comes to mind. So, for example, if we are in the upper third of the conference in talent ranking, but lower third in results, you can look at the two other factors that have been discussed here. Those are by-position talent, and coaching and development. With the exception of RB, there seems to be a consensus that our overall by-position talent is bad, or at least poor relative to our peers. This is hard for me to reconcile with our composite talent. Did we do an [I]incredibly[/I] bad job recruiting positions of need compared to our peers? Where is our talent hiding? Alternatively, we can look at coaching and development. To me, this is the area that can better explain the disparity between our talent rating and our performance on the field. It is also an area that Key has made moves to improve, which I am optimistic about. [/QUOTE]
