to me, since they are the last list out, then that means all they did was just take the other lists and copy the living crap out of them. Anyone doing an independent list would have MUCH MUCH different rankings, instead they are just a bunch of sheep.

Maybe they did more research. Or discussed the rankings more than the others.

Why the hell are all these lists so damn important to everyone? There are a million of them going around and they mean absolutely nothing. It used to be used as a tool, now it's just for everyone's own personal agenda or bragging rights.


If you're so confident in what you believe in, than there is no reason to really care about these lists.

Why do so many people love preseason top 25 lists in college football/basketball? The same reason-the season is almost upon us, and people want to see where their player(s) or team(s) rank. When you are emotionally invested into a team, or financially invested into a prospect-of course you want to see any and every top prospect list. As a successful investor-you can never absorb enough information, you can never look at enough opinions. Now, that doesn't mean you listen to everything, but perspective is awful nice sometimes. These lists give us all different perspectives.

So yes, there is plenty of reason to care about these lists. And, many of them give certain players an awful nice "boost" in value, to boot.

No one is forcing anyone to read these lists. If you don't like them, well, there is PLENTY of other stuff on the interwebs to read.

THIS is the post that should be thanked. People like lists. Undeniable fact. I love them. One that averages together all the other lists? Even better.

The only list I usually care about is BA's

Thanked, it's not about anything other than the fun of seeing where your favorite guys stack up and getting opinions about how good certain prospects are in comparison with others.

some people hate fun

I guess it shouldn't be a shock to anyone, but I dislike college football as well.

So, since their list looks exactly like BA's, that means they talked about it more? What kind of idiotic thinking is that?

You aren't alone, I don't like college football either. The fact they don't have a playoff system is main reason too.
