[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 756663, member: 4572"] This argument is in response to average stars being the preferred metric for measuring classes. Every player is counted to create the average stars metric, regardless of whether or not a team exceeds 20 signees. I literally said that, and that’s how the teams are listed in the rankings. It’s why I said points are the better metric, [I]but [/I]points aren’t perfect either, because like you said TCU is at a disadvantage they [I]didn’t [/I]sign 20 players. While that’s true, it’s irrelevant to my point about average stars, and if anything proves my point about how team rankings cannot be 100% accurate because depth/needs aren’t taken into account. You lost me on this. I’m honestly confused about what your point is. The recruiting services provide an [B][I]idea[/I] [/B]about where teams stand in talent. It’s not perfect, once again I’ve already said as much. I think we’re on the same page with a lot of what you’re saying, but you are trying to discredit the services because they don’t provide an actual measurable statistic. While I can see the value in the services because of the [B][I]ideas[/I] [/B]they provide the general public about which teams are the most talented. Once again, they’re not perfect but they’re pretty good at what they do. The final AP rankings aren’t accurate just because they put a number next to a team’s name, just like the recruiting services aren’t accurate. But, once again, both polls/rankings give a general [B][I]idea[/I] [/B]about where teams stand/perform. I don’t subscribe to any of the sites. I don’t care to. But I can see that the vast majority of the time their ratings and rankings are pretty accurate and provide some value for comparing teams. [/QUOTE]
