The two networks use a different ranking criteria. The 247 network uses a conventional player rating, and then has a formula for adding up the players in the class. It also emphasizes pro potential in rating its players. <\/p>\n

On3 does it a bit differently. It rates transfer prospects by the On3 (P)erformance score, which is based more on college performance and college potential. In its class rankings, it utilizes a proprietary algorithm to compare a program\u2019s incoming transfer class\u2019s production value over the outgoing group of transfers. It determines if a program has improved its overall team talent, stayed the same, or declined in talent, and then afixes a score to the class and ranks classes by that score. <\/p>\n

Initially it might seem unorthodox. But once you think about it, the class absolutely should be judged primarily by how it improved the program\u2019s roster, and that\u2019s what On3 does. <\/p>\n

Brandon Huffman, Rivals National Recruiting Analyst, said the On3 method is superior. \u201cIt\u2019s based on roster management and upgrading, and that\u2019s what this is really about,\u201d he said. \u201cIt emphasizes college impact more, and it isn\u2019t nearly as based on the opinion of a couple of network evaluators but far more data-driven.\u201d <\/p>\n
