[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 551239, member: 2426"] I would argue that this isn't a validation of the rankings. 50% of the top 10 in this "re-evaluation" were in the top 10 originally. 50% isn't very accurate. I would say that teams with a class ranked in the top 5 most likely have better athletes than teams ranked in the 40s. My big concern with recruiting rankings is the gamification of the rankings. There is not a scientific method of ranking the players. The rankings come from subjective rankings from people around the country. The players are compared from observations against very different levels of competition. It is easy to point out examples of top ranked players who didn't pan out or no star players who turned out to be ballers. If people use the rankings to look at general situations and patterns, that is one thing. However, I think too many people take them too seriously and believe that if their team finished one team ranking spot above another team it is a great actual accomplishment. [/QUOTE]
