[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 756655, member: 2426"] I have said before that I don't trust team rankings as a direct measurement. As a measurement of order of magnitude, it is fine. In 2020, Alabama's class was better than GT and ranked higher. But was Florida State's class definitely better than GT's? FSU was 20th and GT was 25th. Was GT's class definitely better than Purdue's? GT was 25th and Purdue was 30th. People like to pay attention to and argue about differences in hundredths or maybe even thousandths when the measurements used are not even accurate to whole numbers. Going by that example, Washington would have been higher based on number of stars. 59/17 = 3.47 (TCU) 67/19 = 3.53 I take it from your question that you would think the extra 4 stars would be worth more than the 5 star. Average stars would say that is the case. The Rivals ranking said that is the case. However, I would ask the same question as above. Are you definitely, 100% sure that Washington's class was better and will end up performing better on the field than TCU's? I don't think you are, and I don't think it is possible to be. It is similar to attempting to determine which Dasani bottle has the most water in it just by looking at the bottles. The 1.5L bottle (Alabama) definitely has more than a 20 ounce bottle (TCU, Washington). But you can't tell just by looking at the bottle which 20 ounce bottle actually has more water in it. [/QUOTE]
