His impact on the game will be severely missed if he can’t play. Why it could disappoint: Oregon standout DE Kayvon Thibodeaux, who left the Fresno State game in the first half with an ankle injury, is still day-to-day according to Ducks’ coach Mario Cristobal. Verdell and Travis Dye, along with Brown, was an encouraging sign for the Ducks, as the Buckeyes’ defense wasn’t exactly airtight against the run. But the combined performance on the ground from RBs C.J. Oregon, also breaking in a new signal caller in Anthony Brown, was also in a dogfight with Fresno State in its season opener. He had a few freshman moments, but having standout WR Chris Olave in his arsenal certainly helped. The Buckeyes got off to a solid start in Big Ten play last Thursday at Minnesota, making QB C.J. The Ducks will try to provide another one for the league, but they’ll have to do it on the road. The Pac-12 picked up one marquee win last week when UCLA took down LSU. Big Ten clash, on the other hand, still has plenty of long-term implications.

We therefore think this handful of games will be more compelling. It might indeed prove to be a competitive affair, but the Huskies’ shocking home loss to Montana, a strong FCS program but FCS nonetheless, robbed this date in Ann Arbor of much of its value. Sharp-eyed readers will note that ABC’s prime-time selection of Washington at Michigan is absent from this list. The Week 2 slate isn’t quite as jam-packed with top-25 tilts and high-profile clashes of power conference contenders, but there is still a solid list of contests worthy of attention Saturday.

The first full week of the college football season lived up to its billing, producing its share of surprises and close finishes. The y-axis in this graph represents the percentage weight of the score that gets applied to an overall team ranking.Watch Video: College Football Week 1 QB Rankings: Alabama's Bryce Young leads the Crimson Tide You can see that the area under the curve gets smaller both as the rating for a commit decreases and as the number of total commits for a school increases. This standard deviation creates a bell curve with an inflection point near the average number of players recruited per team.īelow is a graphical representation of how our formula works. Readers familiar with the Gaussian distribution formula will note that we use a varying value for σ based on the standard deviation for the total number of commits between schools for the given sport. This formula ensures that all commits contribute at least some value to the team's score without heavily rewarding teams that have several more commitments than others. You can think of a team's point score as being the sum of ratings of all the team's commits where the best recruit is worth 100% of his rating value, the second best recruit is worth nearly 100% of his rating value, down to the last recruit who is worth a small fraction of his rating value.

In order to create the most comprehensive Team Recruiting Ranking without any notion of bias, 247Sports Team Recruiting Ranking is solely based on the 247Sports Composite Rating.Įach recruit is weighted in the rankings according to a Gaussian distribution formula (a bell curve), where a team's best recruit is worth the most points.

Where c is a specific team's total number of commits and R n is the 247Sports Composite Rating of the nth-best commit times 100.
