 Switch Years: 2008 | 2007 | 2006 | 2005

Caveats:

  • Each year's recruiting rating is an average of the rank order ratings from two major recruiting services.
  • The Recruiting Rating Average is weighted to give the most weight for 3rd and 4th year student-athletes, and the least for 1st year student-athletes.
  • The Recruiting Rating Averages are rank ordered to assign each team a Recruiting Ranting Ranking for the team's recruiting rating average.
  • The Post-Bowl Ranking is an average of 20+ ranking services. It is not simply the AP, Coaches, or BCS ratings.
