More than class to class rankings the best indicator of a teams actual talent is the team talent composite. It only counts the guys actually on your roster not the ones that signed and never made it to campus or flunked out year one. It also includes any transfers ratings that do not show up in recruiting class rankings. Unfortunately with the merge with Scout a lot of teams rosters are not up to date and that is what the team talent composite pulls from. It should be fixed by next year.

Here is AL's https://247sports.com/Team/Alabama-164/Roster for example. The national rankings https://247sports.com/Season/2017-Footba...tComposite are off for a lot of teams due to stated above. GS entire 2016 class is not linked but I have been told this is being worked on for all team.
