Explanation In order to create the most comprehensive team recruitment ranking without any notion of bias, the 247Sports Team Recruiting Rating is based solely on the 247Sports Composite Rating. Each rookie is weighed in the rankings by the Gaussian distribution formula (bell curve), where the team's best rookie is worth the most points. You can think of the team point score as the sum of the rankings of all team commits, where the best rookie is worth 100% of his ranking value, the second best rookie is worth almost 100% of his ranking value, right down to the last recruit who is worth a small portion of his ranking value. This formula ensures that all commits contribute at least some value to the team's valuation without the strong rewards of teams that have slightly more commitments than others. Readers familiar with the Gaussian distribution formula are claiming that we use different meanings for σ depending on the standard deviation for the total number of commits between schools for the sport. This standard deviation creates a bell curve with an inflection point near the average number of players recruited to the team. Below is a graphical view of how our formula works. You can see that the area below the curve is getting smaller, both as the commit rating declines and as the number of general commits for the school increases. The Y-axis on this graph represents the percentage weight of the score that applies to the overall team rating.

History Also: A list of Michigan State Spartans football seasons 1913 Michigan Agricultural College (MSU) vs. Michigan Early Years, starting as a club sport in 1885, football gained university status in 1896. Early teams at the then Michigan Agricultural College (MAC) competed in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA), which was chartered in 1888 and is the oldest existing collegiate league in the United States. Previously, in 1884, Albion College and Michigan Agricultural played in the first intercollegiate football game held at Michigan State. Other members of the MIAA charter included Albion, Olivet and Hillsdale Colleges. The first season of the Competitive Football Association was in 1894, which by then also included Eastern Michigan University (then Michigan Normal School) and Alma College; Kalamazoo was added in 1896. In those early years MAC Aggies could only perform one straight league football (1905) and share more with Albion (1903). The first decade of the 20th century usually saw MIAA and MAC dominate either Albion or Olive Colleges. MSU left the league and became independent in 1907. Chester Brewer revolutionized the football program during three different stints as head coach: 1903-10, 1917 and 1919. Considered a defensive genius, his team posted shutouts in 49 of the 88 games he coached. John McLean took over as head coach in 1911 and held a winning percentage of .853 (29-5), the highest in Michigan State history. Jim Crowley, one of Notre Dame's immortal Four Riders, served as head football coach at Michigan State from 1929 to 1933. Charlie Bachmann, another Notre Dame graduate, replaced Jim Crowley as head football coach at Michigan State, arriving in East Lansing after a successful stint in Florida. Knute Rockne's teammate, Bachmann, used the Notre Dame system and forged 10 winning seasons in 13 years. Clarence Biggie Mann of the era (1947-1953) Clarence Lester Biggie Mann took over as head coach of Michigan State from Charlie Bachmann in 1947. His teams of 1951 and 1952 won national championships. Mann retired from coaching in 1953 to take over as Michigan State Athletic Director, a position he held until 1971. Every year, the Michigan Spartans award the Biggie Mann Award to the team's most motivational player. The MSU Mann Ice Arena, built in 1974, is named after him. Mann was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach in 1959, and in 1961 he became michigan State's first inductee to the Michigan Athletic Hall of Fame. He authored a textbook on coaching Michigan State's multiple offenses in 1953. 1947-1950 In 1947, Mann and the Michigan State Administration, led by University President John A. Hannah, appealed to the President of Notre Dame, Cavanaugh's father, to make his combative Irish play the Spartans for the first time since 1921. MSU initially offered to allow Notre Dame to take 80 percent of the gate, but Cavanaugh insisted that they split the receipts in the middle. Mann was the only coach to beat Notre Dame head coach Frank Leahy three years in a row (1950-52). Beginning with a 33-14 win over William and Mary in East Lansing on October 14, 1950 Biggie Mann began his historic 28-game winning streak. 1951 Team 1951 went undefeated and was elected national champions by the Helms Athletic Foundation; However, the rest of the polls voted for the Tennessee volunteers who lost in the Sugar Bowl to the Maryland Terrapins, but postseason games didn't count at the time. 1952 The 1952 team went on to winless manned 9-0. Michigan State won the national championship for the second year in a row and for the first time in school history were #1 in both AP and coaches polls. was named AFCA Coach of the Year, AFCA, MSU is up to a 9-0 record and a national championship. 1953 In 1953, the first year of Michigan State Conference play in the Big Ten, the Spartans shared the conference title with Illinois and went to the Rose Bowl, where they beat UCLA, 28-20. On October 24, 1953, Purdue upset the Spartans 6-0, ending Mann's 28-game winning streak. The Spartans won the first-ever Paul Bunyan Trophy after beating rival Michigan 14-6 in East Lansing. Shortly after winning the Rose Bowl, MSU athletic director Ralph H. Young resigned. Mann retired from coaching to take over as athletic director and remained in that position until 1971. Mann named his assistant Duffy Daugherty as his successor as head coach of the football team. During his tenure as Michigan State's head football coach, Mann coached 17 All-Americans. His teams retained the school's four best season marks for rushing yards per game: 1948 (304.5 yards/games), 1951 (293.9 yards), 1952 (272.4), and 1950 (269.3).
