I know someone who runs a 247 site. I asked him some of the questions this group poses. Here are his responses:

1) Ratings are extremely subjective, especially after the sure fire guys, who are evaluated in a variety of ways.
2) Ratings based on NFL potential, not college potential. There are very specific measurables and growth charts that these are based on. Syracuse, as we know, tends to take guys who don't fit that growth chart but in some cases have worked out - but those aren't as easily predicted.
3) Evaluations are done regionally, so the de-committed QB committing may have been evaluated faster because it ended up on someone's desk.
4) Evaluations by different individuals are prioritized depending on what schools they cover. If a guy from let's say Pennsylvania commits to Florida, the evaluation of someone who covers Florida will be prioritized over someone who covers the NE. That's why you tend to see variance, particularly for Syracuse, who doesn't have a dedicated evaluator.
