In order for that to be accurate you'd have to compare the adjusted rankings of all schools.
I was just about to say that....and *** is going to lose his shite if he reads that.
I had seen one earlier that was adjusted for every team in the big ten and we dropped to 13th. I will try and dig it up.
Even without adjusting for every other team's roster losses, it still goes without saying that if you lose 6-10 of your coveted recruits out of a class, you're original ranking is not going to be accurate. Unless, of course, the other top 75 schools also suffer the same type of attrition.

It's unbelievable the lengths people are going to justify what's happening on the field. The inaccuracies are piling up.I was just about to say that....and *** is going to lose his shite if he reads that.

No one's ranking is accurate when you do that. Oklahoma just lost Michael Thompson in the transfer portal who was a Rivals Top100 guy... time to get adjusting their 2018 ranking!

From the other thread where I debunked this horrendous exercise:

The exercise could be somewhat informative if done correctly. Emphasis on the "somewhat".
Player retention metric of some sort.....
I don't think you can ever do this exercise correctly. Look at M Washington as an example. When do you take him out of our class? He played in almost 1/2 the season so do you only give 1/2 off his score? Injuries and time missed also play.
The closest you could come is an off season point in time. Who is on the roster, who is off the roster from the last 5 seasons in each year the transaction happened. Make an adjustment for any transfers in through the portal. Don't forget JUCO's (In and out) which also don't measure exactly to an incoming Frosh as they can't get 5 stars. Do this for every conference team.
If you look at it year to year, and in a 5 year picture, you MIGHT get close to reality. Even then recruiting rankings are somewhat arbitrary so how do you count 'busts' and 'overachievers' ?

I think you may be so invested in debunking "this horrendous exercise" that you missed the point. I suggested that if you have a 20th ranked recruiting class, but a third to half of them leave, your class is probably no longer deserving of the ranking of 20 since the talent that "earned" the ranking left the team. I think that is self-evident. But perhaps I am missing something.
Your beef seems to be about the methodology of measuring how far the ranking would fall. For what its worth, if one was going to attempt this exercise, then yes, it would be necessary to adjust Oklahoma's 2018 ranking. In addition, you would have to do every teams "attrition ranking" with the same methodology and then see how the numbers fall. This whole thing is of course a mostly meaningless exercise/ But, it is the off season. We have time.

Not to go down this rabbit hole again but on your exercise, where did Michigan and Ohio State fair on all three of those years? I'm curious as to if this is normal to have this loss of talent in three consecutive recruiting classes.
