2017: 0.8192
2014: 0.8200
2012: 0.8207
2015: 0.8211

She he's just basing it off of recruiting class ranking.

So it is true that our rankings have gone down 4 years straight.

Our rankings should go up this year if we can add guys like Gentry

07 and 08 were two of your best-ranked classes ever.

Yeah but last 2 years have been worse than any other since 2000.

The last two years were historically bad by BYU standards.

Rivals stopped following BYU, so I'd take those rankings with a grain of salt

That's why I gave you the 247 rankings, I know how you guys feel about rivals

Rivals isn’t worth paying attention to other than their top 100 recruits...

It's not a dramatic drop off on 247
