I agree although some people like Bnoro here think that the star system is completely meritless. Trust Duggie they say!
I love that you make this sound like such a baseless theory while simultaneously subscribing to a system that hires guys that want to get into journalism and then suddenly proclaim to know the difference between the 24th best OLB in the country and the 38th OLB in the country. Oh and one is from Calif. while the other is from Fla.
Stars matter to some degree, but I tend to believe they follow winning more than predict it. None of these sites was giving glowing reviews to TCU or Boise or the like before they were beating the oklahomas of the world.
