Ok now that TW is officially going to be a gump, you know what comes next is Rivals moving him up the board. You know Rivals will be all over it like a fat kid on a cup cake.

My question is how much does Rivals upgrade him in their final rankings? They currently have him ranked #89, I bet those a**holes move him up at least 15 spots.

Anyone else have a guess?

That's funny considering he's not even the best player instate this year and its debatable if he's in the top 5

None, Mike Scumborough has his rivals La. Rankings out. He's 11th. 1,2,3 is White, Beckwith, and Smith if I remember right.

It's okay to question rivals on their raking system and apparent bama bias. So is their a real bama bias or has rivals been pretty accurate?

3 out of the last 4 NCs for bama...rivals seems to be pretty accurate.

I fully expect TW to move up on the Rivals national rankings although the local guys who watch film etc have him 11. The biases are so annoying. KB commits to LSU and move in the ESPN rankings from 12 overall to 47. ESPN is the biggest joke and I wish 247 would not include them in thier composite rankings.

Bama is the media's obsession. They benefit from favorable scheduling annually, biased polling, and undeserved rematches. Nobody reports that. 3 fake opinionated titles, but only 2 of the last 4 SEC titles. That's weird.

They are well coached, but all their recruits don't work out. So, they should not go up just because they commit to Bama. LSU puts as many players in the league as Bama, but doesn't get the same treatment. It's bullshite however you look at it and not true evaluations.

PLEASE no more Tim Williams threads.

The MF'er went to Bama. Frick him. I want to talk about our amazing class and potential studs to add to it.

They also benefit from sub-consciencely bias officiating. I call it the BirminghAm effect. But enough about bama.

LSU showed they have at least same amount of talent as BAMA the last several years...

UGA showed they can beat BAMA as did A$M..the scheme is critical..

What I learned is the margin of talent is slim...

LSU is having 8-10 players drafted into the NFL this year..

We already are near the top in the NFL for most player in the NFL

So BAMA being #1 in recruiting every year is a little Bias regardless of their 3 titles.

Saban's coaching and their favorable schedule not to mention a BSC mulligan game is why they have the hardware.

Give Scarborough and company a break. They are just retaliating the shameless bumps given to Alabama commits by derailing TW's ranking and bumping up every LSU commit in the TigerBait Top 30.

Although, the homerism in the TB Top 30 is painfully obvious.

Not true, actually. Since the 2010 NFL Draft (first year that Saban recruited players at Bama were draft eligible) the breakdown is like this:

Bama - 20 total players drafted. 10 first round picks.

LSU - 15 total players drafted. 3 first round picks.

3 years is a tiny sample size.

after this draft it'll balance out a lot more
