You are kidding yourself. There is a sizable difference. Rivals rates by number in the class among other things. This class is at 18 and bigger than Fitz's last classes (they were 16) leading to a higher rating. But those were also final grades and this years is not, Reality is that our class is probably complete where a number of classes of teams below us are not and when they add guys they will jump us. (really think IA is done at 14 or IL who just beat Mich and is ranked, will stop at 15? The even bigger issue is much less high end, difference making talent.
Reality is that this class is more a MAC level class where Fits classes were more P4. And as other programs fill out their classes I would expect this years class rating to drop.
