Rivals

[ziggyg 2]

I was just messing around on their site and was wondering if anyone knows what their point scale is. I see we have 1935, so i guess my question is how much is each star worth or how is it all tallied up?

You only take the top 20 prospects in this formula, ordered by # Stars descending.

POINTS = ((N / (N + 50)) * H) + ((50 / (N + 50)) * L)

where...

H = 250 for each 5-star commit + 140 for each 4-star + 75 for each 3-star + 20 for each 2-star + 10 for each 1-star

L = 18 for each 5-star + 12 for each 4-star + 8 for each 3-star + 3 for each 2-star + 1 for each 1-star

N = See below

CALCULATION OF N:

10 for each commit on the Rivals 100 (high school) ranked 1-10

9 for each commit on the Rivals 100 (high school) ranked 11-20

etc. down to...

1 for each commit on the Rivals 100 (high school) ranked 91-100

10 for each commit on the Rivals 100 (JUCO and Prep) ranked 1-10

9 for each commit on the Rivals 100 (JUCO and Prep) ranked 11-20

etc. down to...

6 for each commit on the Rivals 100 (JUCO and Prep) ranked 41-50

24 for each commit ranked #1 on his official position ranking

18 for each commit ranked #2-5 on his official position ranking

8 for each commit ranked 6-X on his official position ranking, where X is dependent on detail position, as listed below...

--Dual-threat QB: 25

--Pro-style QB: 25

--Running Back: 35

--All-Purpose Back: 15

--Fullback: 15

--Wide Receiver: 50

--Tight End: 20

--Offensive Tackle: 40

--Offensive Guard: 30

--Offensive Center: 10

--Defensive Tackle: 50

--Weakside Defensive End: 20

--Strongside Defensive End: 30

--Inside Linebacker: 35

--Outside Linebacker: 35

--Cornerback: 40

--Safety: 30

--Athlete: 25

--Kicker: (no points awarded for rank lower than 5th)

If the team's average stars are greater than 3, add (100 * (Avg stars -

> 3)) to N.

This shows why college football is golden. For someone to sit down and come up with this is pretty mind boggling!
