accuracy. It could include random bloggers who don't routinely update their ratings, for all we know.

With that said, I tend to use whichever ranking is most favorable to my argument, but unlike you I don't pretend to do otherwise.

And in this case, Drink's national rankings for both the 2021 and 2022 classes crush Cuonzo's regardless of the rating service you look at. National is a more objective benchmark since it isn't skewed by how competitive the SEC is in FB vs BB.
