All they care about is the current CFB rankinfs mirroring their rankings. Tale as olde as thyme.

We gotta pump these subscription numbers up that way they can tell us, like Tide fans, what to think.

About par for the course. We are never going to have a top 5 class.

Correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't the two players dropping in ranking been injured most of season ? If so they're going to drop ..

 

[Jackcrevol]

Yes both players were hurt. Faizon's injury healed up right before the Playoffs. and TK's about mid season.

I'm in no way, shape or form concerned about these guys. We have the best players, committed.

But aren’t you always arguing that the rankings matter so much? If they’re clearly political and biased for or against certain teams, then they’re not accurate.

Sorry but rankings do matter regardless of what you think. The data proves it.

 

[INDEFENSE]

When they take perennial top teams and bump people committed to them they aren't ranking a damn thing, they're betting on a team that's been top 5 to stay top 5 until they aren't for a while. It's not that hard to understand.

 

[NighthawkVol]

And yet, you’re complaining that they’re biased. I didn’t say “I think” anything. I’m pointing out contradictory positions on your part.

So are they accurate or are they biased?

Yes.
Obviously.

You know those rankings don't help us win football games. The sooner yall stop crashing out everytime they put out new rankings. There are thousands of kids in hundreds of places being evaluated by different people with different biases. We should only be concerned about the product and end product on the field.

It's according to where we're ranked.. if top 5 there accurate, if out of top 5 there biased... Try to keep up.

They are accurate and biased. Both can be true

Keys was a 5 star months ago 6 months ago 1 year ago. Who cares were he and Brandon are ranked. They are future stars in Orange and that is all that matters. In CHRIST Alone

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Sorry but rankings do matter regardless of what you think. The data proves it.

Oh my, again, NFL draft data trumps HS stars. Half the 300 4 stars each class are passed by 3 stars when graded out over 3-4 years. HS Stars are not guarantees (see Nico) or ceilings (see the masses of late bloomers). NFL rosters prove that in spades. Portal is a newer tool to measure the fallibility of rating 16-18 year olds.

Dude just stick to 247. They are way more consistent.

The point is actually to discredit the rankings themselves. Casual college football fans consider these rankings to be the forgone consensus on whether a player is going to be good or not. We're pointing out how our elite players consistently drop out of elite status because:

- It's BS

-If we keep pointing it out, maybe people will start to realize that the opinions of our coaches matter more than an arbitrary ranking system made by analytics nerds who have never stepped in a locker room before.
