Here's a snapshot of where UCF stands among the three major recruiting sites in terms of overall ranking.
No. 29 - On3
No. 45 - Rivals
No. 46 - 247
Rivals and 247 have extremely similar team rankings formula, which may be a bit outdated because it prioritizes schools that have a higher number of commitments (the "top 20" commits in a class are used). On3 is basing it on the average number of P5 commits at the current time, which right now is 14. That's why UCF is higher - they aren't being penalized for not having 20 commits.
On Rivals, UCF is No. 1 in the new Big 12 in terms of average ranking per player. Though TCU sort of gets the shaft because they have a two-star kicker.
