re: Rivals appears to be adjusting spears' ranking.

Refresher course on rivals formula.

1) They count only the top 20 players in your class.
2) You get "bonus points" for having a player at a respective position in the top tier (depends on position how far down they go), a top 5 player at their position and the top player at their position get bonus points as well
3) You get your score bumped with a higher average star rating (think of it as a "weight factor")

Not sure how the Spears "no rating" is affecting our score. Our average ranking of 3.76 means that Spears isn't being averaged in. But his not having a rating must be factoring in since LSU did not get nearly they bump they should have with 2 players going from 4 to 5 stars. We should have gotten a 200-250 point bump in our score and I think we only got about 60 point bump.

LSU should be at about 2800 points right now. Not all the adjustments have been made apparently.

If Spears gets a 4 star ranking, LSU will be #1 in recruiting at about 2875 points.
