Those are mostly a few years before my time, but I do own two of them, and I have a third on the way on new vinyl as soon as it's done with the remastered pressing.
they were a bit before my time as well, I was 10 and not buying them as they were released

Yep, and it describes that list. It no longer matters with the portal.

For example, my school picked up 3 former 4* QB's in the portal this year.

Where they were prior means nothing.
I don't think it's completely meaningless but I do think it's lost most of its meaning and I also think y'all are quibbling over trivialities in semantic distinction.  

Which, appears to be the entire point of message board forums so, carry on. :)

I'd say it has lost some meaning, but a change of 2-3-4 players doesn't change the summation that much in most cases.  It might make the A&M figure really less useful.

The list is probably still a decent one in terms of overall talent on leading teams.  (Another factor is where the talent is positionally of course.  If you happen to have 4 four star tight ends and three 4-5 star QBs, it means less than having the stars more evenly spread through starting players.)

I guess they did. McCoy ended up 1 point ahead of Suh, both times.

More amazing than how many things folks like to rank is how unnerved some folks get over such rankings.  They take great umbrage that "their guy" isn't higher.  And "argue" (cuss) about it no end.  You humans are weird.
