Stewart Mandel-"From a purely aesthetic standpoint, I much prefer to watch a good spread-rushing offense over a traditional Power-I offense, and Oregon's has been the most fun by far for the past several years. It's fast, its precise, and when Chip Kelly has the right quarterback (Dixon, Masoli) at the helm, the possibility of someone ripping off a 60-yard run exists on nearly every play."

Well, if you go by star rating we're 7th also so closing on Colt and some of these DL will only make it higher.

13th in star ranking with Scout, with a higher star average than U$C and Stanford.

Not bad for them not having a couple of our recruits on the board or rated.

16 on scout too. And I'm sure we still land 2-3 more four star guys, so probably like 10-12 on scout and 4-6 on rivals.

Haha, how about we divide the ranking they give us by 2 and add a 1.

So 12 on scout is actually a 12/2 + 1 = 7!

They'd probably be more accurate by doing that. :lol:

Just a curious thought on the rankings. I do not know that it matters per se but is curious that we are 7th on rivals... probably the top Pac 10 school... but yet on scout and ESPNU we are like 16th or 21st and behind USC and Cal or Stanford.. Just curious how they can have us behind them and yet rivals doesnt.

The ranking formulas each site uses is a little different. Scout and ESPN simply give x amount to a 3* and x amount to a 4*, and so fourth. Then calculate the totals up. This tends to reward quantity over quality a little more. Rivals uses more of a weighted system that takes class size into account. This is why they're largely regarded as the most accurate.

Yeah, i was quite perplexed when i looked after we landed Blackmon and were still 20 even though we had as many ESPN 150 players as most of the people in the top 10 and even some in the top 5.
