If you have read this blog at all on a regular basis, you know that I am the Athlon Sports Recruiting Editor. We have developed a recruiting ranking that will be the first of its kind.
The Athlon Consensus 100 begins its release tomorrow morning at AthlonSports.com.
Every Monday and Thursday leading up until Signing Day, Athlon Sports will release ten names. Monday December 31st will be the first release. 91-100 will be published.
HOW IT WORKS:
I have compiled the rankings of four expert recruiting rankings (Rivals, Scout, ESPN, PrepStar) and input them into a very simple computer program and the result is the Athlon Consensus 100. All rankings are considered equally. The top 150 prospects are analyzed mathematically and then spit out into a ranking based on points. It will be the BCS of recruiting rankings. I know what you are thinking, the BCS is terrible. True. BUT...
How much better is the BCS than the original bowl system? Was it improved 10-fold? Twenty?
That is what we are doing at Athlon Sports. We have taken the experts ranks and improved on them.

i'm glad to see that someone in the media finally had this idea. i've been doing this just for my football buddies since 2005, but i also factoe in lemmings and emfinger's rankings. i do have a question about your scout numbers as they do not jive with scout.com top 100 numbers.
You are right about the rankings being just a bit off at the moment. I compiled the rankings as of Jan. 1st, 2008. Three of the top-150 lists have been revamped since then. I will be redoing the entire list for release on Signing Day so that the final Athlon Consensus 100 will be permanent.
I hope that explains it. There will be six new names in the 100 and a lot of shifting, so it should be fun to see how it all shakes out on Signing Day.
