Inside the rankings
Blair Sanderson | Editor

Iowa commits Peyton Mansell and Beau Corrales.

With a new commitment on the board this week, it is time to go back inside the rankings andbreak down how each recruit factors into the team rankings on Rivals.com.

To basically explain it, players are assigned a set number of points based on their Rivals Rating (RR). A 6.1-ranked prospect receives 150 points, a 6.0-ranked prospect receives 135, a 5.9 ranked prospects receives 120, and so on down the line in increments of 15.

Additionally, players ranked in the Rivals250 receive bonus points depending on how high they are ranked. The No. 1 prospect in the country gets +100 bonus points. The No. 25 prospects gets +55 bonus points. The No. 166 prospects gets +19 bonus points... And all those bonus points are added to the points they receive for their Rivals Rating. It's all explained in greater detail here - Rankings Formula.

With several 2 & 3 star recruits having big years, I can see this total and hopefully the ranking go up.

Examples: Ivory Kelley-Martin, Holmes, Smith, Mansell, Corrales
