For the most part, ESPN and Rivals included the same players in their respective rankings with each player ranked pretty similarly (e.g., in my mind the difference between 50 and 100 is pretty insignificant, although I did include a few). Below are those players with the biggest difference in rankings. I did not intend to leave off A&M, Vanderbilt and Kentucky but that is the way the rankings worked out. Who was right as to each player? Who wins the final tally?

I prefer Google, but I'm not a judging guy.

Janzen was undersized for a safety, but probably the best DB at Tennessee in the last 10 years not named Eric Berry. Rivals had it right.

Jerod Askew never played a snap for VOLS. Gigantic bust.

The huge discrepancy in Chris Faulk's rating is my favorite. Guess rivals got that one.
