Do people really expect anything else than bad or erratic ranking from Rivals?
They have became the new Scout in the paysite world ...
I think Rivals is #2 (who does number 2 work for) among the sites, behind 247.
Scout and ESPN are more on par to me.

I personally don't give a crap is someone drops a few or moves up a few. I use rivals etc to just get an idea. They say #50 for example. In my mind that at best/most accurate you can expect means he is somewhere between #10 and #100!
There is just no way to rank each player down to the spot, 1,2,3, etc accurately. I don't fault them for trying, it serves a purpose, but rankings aren't all that accurate. Just use the ranking as a starting point then you have to read up on the guy watch his film and consider level of competition and see his offer sheet and then make your own conclusions.
Legit question, just expressing my opinion.
