think it was Rivals that explained it perfectly years ago. Something about recruits that go to bama obviously being better. As in, if you commit to bama, you get a ratings bump.

Here's the point, Sandy Broufax: if the recruiting sites give rankings increases to prospects that commit to bama, it incentivizes more prospects to commit to bama. This means bama is gaining an advantage from all of our use of the recruiting sites. It also puts all of the other teams at a further disadvantage as more time and more recruiting cycles pass.

Dabo just beat the shite out of saban, and Clemson's team ranking dropped while bama's went up. Looks like it's more about who these recruiting sites LIKE more than who they they trust. It's rigged...same thing happens every year.
