aters cry about it but I always thought it was a sign that Saban's regime was doing better evaluation work.
As far as the really extreme ones go (unranked to like #125 in the country or something) I think it really just boiled down to those websites not having the staff to seriously evaluate a very large % of the couple of thousand D1 signees every year. So when a kid they aren't all that familiar with commits to a big time program they will naturally take another look at him and often realize that he's really, really good and they missed one. It got termed the Bama bump because Saban was lapping the field on talent evaluation once upon a time. Now though I bet if you tracked kids who were low 3*s or unranked when they commit to UGA, Ohio State, etc. there are similar corrections in the next rankings update.
Also big fanbases = sweet, sweet ad revenue from clicks.
