So you base your credibility on which ever has OM lower? Nice.


actually we base the ranking we use off of whichever has us ranked higher....every year people bitch about the other service and then they switch to it the next year because were in the top 10 or whatever....ole miss being ranked lower is just a funny coincidence.

Did you know that Scout gives 2-3 times as many players 5, 4, and 3 stars than Rivals? It seems to me that Scout is the one jacking the rankings up by giving way too many players high rankings.


They evaluate 2-3 times more players than Rivals.

If Scout is giving higher rankings to players across the board then it doesn't skew their rankings.

Rivals ranked every senior who put on a helmet this season. The were able to accurately do so by sending several of their thousands of scouts to games across the country, camps, and have spent countless hours evaluating film before discussing the mathematical formula needed to derive the rankings down to tenths of a point with professors in the math departments of Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Brown.

This is an exact science.

Oh yeah, update on DGB

I think OU, Mizzou and Ark will be top choices in the end.



For those who don't know him. Here is his ridiculous offer list already.

Yea, his foster parents are gonna play a HUGE role in where he goes, and i like the fact he has already been to Fayetteville multiple times, and that he has already talked to Durron Neal about playing together at Arkansas.

Everyone knows that the recruiting site which has their team ranked the highest is the best.

I can remember hearing some of our fans talking shite about scout.com a year or two ago when rivals had us ranked higher. "rivals is for football, and scout is for basketball..." blah, blah, blah.

Neither one is any better or worse than the other, and neither one matters.
