“Team talent” ratings matter

Most computer rankings include some component of recruiting rank

Perception to other recruits, media, and voters.

Unfortunately they do. Recruiting rankings play a part in the real rankings

“Real rankings” are only the committee rankings. To the extent it plays a part in ESPN FPI and SOR, we don’t know

They make our starting ranking worse though, perception matters in rankings

There are several ranking systems that take recruit rankings into consideration

ESPN's FPI does indeed include recruiting rankings as a variable in their model

Is there an updated website? That explicitly says it doesn’t even use 247 data, but it’s also 8 years old

On ESPN website's FPI page, scroll down to the bottom and there's a link to "What is ESPN's Football Power Index"

Whether FPI uses 247 specifically, or another rating tool, the concept is still the same-recruiting ratings matter...

Right, and I think the impact is likely minuscule, but I agree with you to an extent.

Do you think ESPN recruiting rankings care to not be too much different than

I have no idea.

I was making a generalized comment about why recruiting ratings matter. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

I’d take a whole lot of 3 stars if they play like that dude!

It is a moronic ranking and clear proof they either don't watch or they don't have any
