The Yale Undergraduate Sports Analytics Group attempts to compare "how all the Ivy League teams performed relative to their recruited talent." The Yale Daily News has the story that includes this:Entering the 2016 season, the Yale football team had the top freshman recruiting class in the Ivy League and the second overall freshman class in the entire Football Championship Subdivision, per 247Sports Composite Team Rankings. Yet Yale currently sits at fourth in the Ivy League.Green Alert Take: While this is a nice exercise in analytics the fact that it relies entirely on 247Sports and Sagarin ratings makes this an interesting academic exercise but little more than that. As anyone who has watched the Ivy League for more than a few years can attest, the ranking of individual recruits at this level is wrong as often as it is right, maybe more. Not only are there people around the league who question whether Yale actually had the "second overall freshman class in the entire Football Championship Subdivision," but there are people who would question whether it has the second overall class in the entire Ivy League.
