Class Ranking

[jordan4vols]

Well we finished #9 which is really good with what we had happen 3 weeks ago.

However, how did USC past Florida for the #1 spot?

[zach0105]

No useful information here. Just wanted to say that I hate USC...

[GahLee]

USC should not be ranked ahead of Florida, Florida's class is unreal...one of the best I have ever seen.

USC signed some great talents but no way they should even be close to the Gator's class.

I just saw that myself.... I thought they would be short and around 15... now at 20 with X..... pretty hard to believe.... leaves a pretty nasty taste in my mouth.... I was really hoping USUC would finish below us....

This just in: It appears that Kiffin and Ogre was not happy that they werent ranked the #1 signing class. So in typical fashion, Ogre went into the Rivals studio and ripped his shirt off and fired everyone up so much so that one of the interns re-edited it so USC would be number 1. It is also reported that Kiffin had a briefcase full of money and left with no briefcase. The NCAA is investigating this and will report its findings in 5 years from today.

my hatred grows...i'm sure x will smart off about his number one class

I value rivals star evaluations as the best, but their class rankings formula is completely bogus.

Florida picked up the #1 and #5 players out of CA and has 4 more 4* and 1 less 5* than USC not to mention 8 more total recruits.

I hate UF and USC, but there is simply no way that USC's class is better than Florida's. . .Scout and ESPN got this much right.

if rivals class ranking system is bogus i dont even know how to define scout's

[ericberry4heisman]

What are we on scout?

And ESPN having USC #7 is even more retarted IMO

Scout's team rankings are ridiculous, but that is a reflection on their strange talent evaluations and subsequent star assignments.

From what I just read on another site, Rivals only uses the top 20 recruits from each team to determine their team rankings. This may be common knowledge to most, but I didn't know this.

If true, then their rankings just became exponentially more mythical/irrelevant to me.

I saw this coming when they were at No. 2 with 18 commits. It seems that half of there class is 5 stars.

UF and USC are in a league of their own. Simply amazing.

[Volunteeer]

top 22.....

They have 20 commits and average 4.2 with over 3000 total points. Wow. Sick and wrong.

And with that kind of talent, USC will be very good.

[SpringBokVol]

The last time a team broke 3000 points was in 2006 and yes, it was Southern Cal.
