Team Rankings, Scout and Rivals ...something wrong !?

[Elephant Tipper 430]

Auburn, before Fulse committed today, was ranked: Scout, #4, 3855 pts, 21 recruits; Rivals, #6, 2001 pts, 21 recruits.

After Fulse committed AU ranked: Scout, #3, 4063 pts, 22 recruits; Rivals, #6, 2066 pts, 22 recruits.

Where's ellitor ?  This doesn't make sense to not move higher on Rivals ranking with a player like Fulse.

Auburn has 2066 points on rivals.com now

They only count the top 20 commits that could have something to do with it.

Sorry Jonesy, my mistake.  I corrected it.  But still, that's only a 65 point move.  Shouldn't it have been at least another 30-40 points with Fulse ?

no plus 60 is right, figure our number 20 player was probably contributing 45-50 pts, then you take that out and add fulse's which is probably around 110-115. which is a net gain of 60 pts

Like aubfan said, they only count top 20.  once you drop the points of a 3* and add Fulse, not a huge jump.  Expect a little more when we pick up Cyrus.

Who cares? He committed to Auburn, that's all that matters.

Thanks guys !  I'm using the "it should've been" method of calculation, although less accurate, more preferred !

WDE !!!

Plus there was a large gap between 5 and 6, with virtually no gap between 4 and 5.

Why would anyone care what rivals said? Brent Calloway and Christian Westerman had been strong 5* all year and after all possible games had ended, that is until they dropped uat and texass both dropped to 4*. Rivals is ran by bammers you can never trust their *s

Unfortunately these rating systems DO affect our recruiting.

Well we're #3 on Scout now.

Westy was never a 5* on Rivals. He was always the highest 4*.

scout is higher b/c they award points based on where they rank in their position. A 4 star #3 ranked WR is going to have more points than a 4 star # 11 RB.

Actually scout is higher because they count 25 whereas Rivals counts 20...plus the gap between 5* points to 4* points is not as big on Scout as it is on Rivals.
