Since the points for position ranks have different cutoffs, I have used two different "N"s, Nh (High N) and Nl (Low N) rather than attempt to guess where the cutoff is for each position


What do you mean they have different cutoffs?
24 for each commit ranked #1 on his official position ranking
18 for each commit ranked #2-5 on his official position ranking
8 for each commit ranked 6-X on his official position ranking, where X is dependent on detail position, as listed below...

--Dual-threat QB: 25
--Pro-style QB: 25
--Running Back: 35
--All-Purpose Back: 15
--Fullback: 15
--Wide Receiver: 50
--Tight End: 20
--Offensive Tackle: 40
--Offensive Guard: 30
--Offensive Center: 10
--Defensive Tackle: 50
--Weakside Defensive End: 20
--Strongside Defensive End: 30
--Inside Linebacker: 35
--Outside Linebacker: 35
--Cornerback: 40
--Safety: 30
--Athlete: 25
--Kicker: (no points awarded for rank lower than 5th)

The formula is simple and plainly stated by Rivals. The worst/most time consuming part is the adding

Fail

LSU is 2nd
Ohio State 1st
Bama 3rd.

plus bama signed more prospects and more of them are less likely to qualify.

Using the Rivals formula, I arrived at 2,746 points for Bama's final class. This would put them second behind LSU which sits at 2,762 points. Another poster on the mainboard came to the same exact conclusion.


NERDS! and 7 pages of this schatt!

Alabama[H = 3110][L = 256][N = 390]
LSU[H = 3090][L = 254][N = 382]

the formula:
H * ( n / ( n + m ) ) + L * ( m / ( n + m ) )

Alabama = 2,786
LSU = 2,762

We came to the same conclusion... The only difference is I only had the information regarding the formula that was posted on this board, as I do not have access to Rivals.

I do hate to repeat myself, i thank you for giving us the missing part of the formula. Although you don't have to be such a jerk about it, especially with someone who's post agrees with yours....

My post was simply to stop the conspiracy talk by showing other fans the Amount of points alloted to Alabama was more than possible.

Well, I think the whole point of this thread speaks for itself. After seven pages, it's pretty obvious we don't care about the number one ranking. Only Bama fans do.
