My opinion is that the recruiting rankings aren't wrong overall but that's only because you can give good rankings to programs that are good and bad rankings to programs that are bad and still be right.

I think the best way to judge is to look at rankings that are anomalous.  How often do good programs get a bad ranking and vice versa?  Do these anomalous rankings end up being accurate?

We're on this list as a one star program from 2010-2013.  This is clearly inaccurate, we're better than that.  But if you just rank "recruits" by really ranking the program, that's how you get us to one star (because we stunk for so long before 2010)

the author doesn't show SU as an outlier.  1 star bottom dweller with 3 bowl wins?

I don't think recruiting rankings are wrong but that's because I don't think they're ranking the recruits, i think they rank the recruiters
