Rivals.com is nuts

Rivals.com has released its weekly position power rankings for college football ( http://collegefootball.rivals.com/viewCFSE.asp ). Last week Darius Marshall was ranked as the 15th best running back, this week he has been downgraded to 19th. What was rivals reasoning for downgrading Marshall after a 98 rushing yard two touchdown performance “Tulane became the first team all season to hold him below 100 yards.”

Tulane did hold Marshall to just under 100 yards but they ignore his two touchdowns. Not to mention Marshall is still second in rushing yards per game behind Fresno State’s Ryan Mathews. What is rivals thinking? How many other running backs gained 100 yards against Virginia Tech this season? I swear if Marshall was playing in a BCS conference he would be no less than number two.

*Side Note: Rivals has Cody Slate listed as the 13th best tight end this week.
