247 Composite or ESPN

ESPN and CBS just want to see Alabama vs Ohio State every year for eternity for the national championship.
Gary Danielson is everything Alabama . If Alabama lose it’s because Alabama didn’t play well, giving the team that beat them no credit. F*** that guy.

ESPN does seem to have the worst rankings year after year as far back as a decade ago.

I prefer 247 composite and 247s own separate rankings, on3 has started to grow on me this year, but espn and rivals rankings blow

Has anyone ever compared the rating systems to see which is more accurate? We are 10th 247 but espn has us out of the top 10 just seems the evaluations are much different.

ESPN has UF with 16 top 300 players. And us with having 7. Nobody else has the Gators having such a big difference in class from us. Preliminarily, I'd say ESPN has something going on.
But at the top, which really matters, there is consensus. Alabama and Georgia, whom we either need to be better than, or beat every year, are are stationed @ 1 and 2. On everything major site.

Some emphasize the "blue chip ratio" of recruiting classes which is the number of four and five star players combined divided by the total number signed. Using that metric, of the top 20 of the 247 composite ratings we're currently number 16 with only Michigan, TCU, FSU and Auburn lower than us. Of course all figures depend on star ratings which are subjective to begin with.

Espn does no serious evaluations, it’s all political posturing and favorites with them. The big 3 that the vast majority go by are 247, Rivals and On3. Anyone that takes espn rankings serious would just as well do their own rankings. Espn just puts their name in front and looks at the other 3 ranking systems and then the cherry pick who they like and who they don’t and call it a ranking system. It’s rank alright it stinks and is full of crap! GBO

Agreed. How can any intelligent human being place trust in a company that pays Steven A. Smith $12 million per year to simply fan the flames of discord? The "Worldwide Leader in Sports" has made pushing wokeness the primary objective of the media platform. Sports journalism "opinion reporting" seems to be the second priority. Truth has no place at ESPN. Those who trade in truth must cease and desist, then apologize, or be fired.

On3 is doing something I like, which is including positional value. On other services you could sign a 5* RG and a 5* QB and get the same rating.
