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.

Great post Omega. Exactly how I feel about recruiting rankings. They're just a baseline. I follow my own eyes and the word of people that I truly trust with evals. In the end, if we're happy, the rankings are meaningless. Last year's class was a great example. I was thrilled with the class, though the rankings services weren't as kind. Huge potential in the '12 class and it's showing in practices.
