being able to hand pick form cali is unfair. USC only has 6 guys out of 20 from out of state.

What does this matter at all?

You brought it up not me.

If Rivals was run by Bama fans that intentionally downed LSU recruits, they would do it to Auburn too. This completely kills your argument.

Why? Tubby is no longer there & Chiz won't win a game against Bama anytime soon, while Jimmy Sexton is paying both of them to play nice & try to make Bama what it was in 1978.

Rivals former CEO let's call him "LUCKY" on Bamaonline hired tlak show host Bill King to pimp Bama & beat LSU down every morning since 2007 on Rivals Radio. Dude will be sitting there and just blurt out Bama! or Saban! for no reason whatsoever. Cattle Prod?

Also, Auburn played Bama closer than LSU (about as close) and is now getting top recruiting classes which they never did before

It's true, the refs didn't pick up a Bama INT dust off the ball & give it back to Bama.

No, I didn't bring up who is Alabama's biggest competition. I said Bama hates Auburn more than LSU.

So with this

You are saying Rivals intentionally puts Bama higher than LSU and not Auburn because LSU is more competitive than Auburn. This makes perfect sense.

Yes. What did Saban need to win right away at Bama? He needed to Control Recruiting. And what school has a major tie-in to recruiting? He'll never finish lower than #5 on that $9 paysite, as long as he is employed by Bama.

BAMA:

1 5 Star is 1 x 5 = 5
15 4 stars is 4 x 15 = 60
9 3 Stars is 9 x 3 = 27
1 2 Star (not listed) is 1 x 2 = 2

Total is 94 then divide be number of commits which is 26. You get 3.62


Ok, then, lets reduce our signees to 27 since we didn't and apparently won't sign 2 then we get the following.

LSU

1 5 star = 5
15 4 stars = 60
11 3 stars = 33

Total= 98 divided by 27= 3.63

Does that put us ahead? Yes but Rivals will not change that to 27 because it will put us ahead. But honestly I really don't care. I have always thought it was slanted toward who they like anyway.
