Deuce is still a 4Star 5.8 over there, but by dropping him out of the 250 he losses extra bonus 'points.'  I forget what # they originally had him at, but that is extra points that would have boosted our team rating.  If he were say ranked #231 he would get an additional 6 points.

Here is their point system - you can really see how they manipulate between a high 3 (5.7) and a low 3 (5.5) which most of our guys are.  That's a 30 point swing in the numeric ratings which is how their team rankings are calculated.

Rivals Rating = Points
6.1 = 150 points
6.0 = 135 points
5.9 = 120 points
5.8 = 105 points
5.7 = 90 points
5.6 = 75 points
5.5 = 60 points
5.4 = 45 points
5.3 = 30 points
5.2 = 15 points

*based on my analysis, our rankings would get a 155 point bump and put us right about #33 which I think is more in line with our numbers (21) and what I think their value is.

*GT is ranked #26 with a star average of 2.84 while our #45 ranking has a star average of 2.77.  They have 1 four and 14 threes.  We have 1 four and 13 threes.  It's splitting hairs but the huge ranking difference falls in their points.
