<div><span class="576121518-24012011"><font size="2" face="Tahoma">Interesting recruiting ranking observation and I used Rivals. The ranking is based on total points, which is flawed for obvious reasons. Lets say you have a team like Penn State thatdoes not appear to be signinga full class this year due to depth experience and total scholarship limits. Penn State has a quality class with 15 commitments, but is ranked 34th. In my opinion, the ranking should be based on average star, which is arguably a better indicator of the level of talent you have coming in.</font></span></div><div><span class="576121518-24012011"><font size="2" face="Tahoma"></font></span></div><div><span class="576121518-24012011"><font size="2" face="Tahoma">Currently, Ole Miss is ranked 20th on Rivals (3.15 average star), nice looking class on paper, but look how many teams are ranked belowOle Missthat are bringing in on average better talent:</font></span></div><div><span class="576121518-24012011"><font size="2" face="Tahoma"></font></span></div><div><span class="576121518-24012011"><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><span class="576121518-24012011"><font size="2" face="Tahoma">Michigan 36th (3.21)</font></span>
