The chase for the recruiting championship for the 2014 cycle, powered by 247Sports Composite, includes one heavy favorite and four contenders at this stage.
247Sports team rankings are calculated exclusively using 247Sports Composite prospect rankings and ratings. 247Sports Composite uses a proprietary formula to equally weight prospect rankings and ratings from major recruiting media outlets.
Within the team rankings formula, each recruit is weighted in the rankings according to a Gaussian distribution formula (a bell curve), where a team's best recruit is worth the most points. You can think of a team's point score as being the sum of ratings of all the team's commits where the best recruit is worth 100 percent of his rating value, the second best recruit is worth nearly 100 percent of his rating value, down to the last recruit who is worth a small fraction of his rating value. This formula ensures that all commits contribute at least some value to the team's score without heavily rewarding teams that have several more commitments than others.āØāØ
The Class of 2014 recruiting championship will be decided on national signing day- Feb. 5.
Here are the primary contenders today, determined subjectively and through the use of internal mathematical projections.
