What this basically tells me that everyone is the same outside of Bama, USC and Florida State. I've seen mods come back with a score and talk about it on 247, Rivals and Scout and the difference in a couple of points is negligible and subjective.

Actually it's Bama and then everyone else.

If you go by average player rating The difference between #1 Bama and #2 FSU is 1.68. The difference between #2 FSU and #8 LSU is 1.63. If you go by total points the difference between Bama and FSU is 22.42, while the difference between FSU and LSU is 21.29.

Average star rankings is not a good indicator because it all depends on your need. Lane Kiffin was notorious for stacking up on skill players to raise his avg star ranking, and focuses too much on quantity instead of quality. Rivals just adds the top 20 players so teams like UT won't be penalized for taking a long snapper and kicker or having to take more players to provide depth.

Pointing out meaningless stats to fit an agenda frowned upon here?

This. I would say Oregon has their best class of all times but it won' be by ranking. We should land 7 OL and 4 DL. I am happy with an 88 and change average rating. We have guys on the OL that are all over the map between the services. Aiello has a 94 247 rating and an 87 composite.

Kiffin did get great guys in the trenches but he can SC feeder schools like Long Beach Poly and Serra always have elite skill players. I don't know if that is a function of Kiffin as much as having skill guys in your back yard.

Of course, I don't know how he recruited at Tennessee.

You really want some dufus ranking your team's needs, though? Rivals used to do that, but do you really believe they had a good feel for all teams?

All rankings should be taken with a grain of salt, but don't mess 'em up with adding unneeded subjectivity. Of course it's important to recruit to your needs, but let the coaches record represent how well he's done that.
