How did the site come up with the ranking?
It explains its methodology: "On3's Team Transfer Portal Rankings are the standard index measuring a team's production during the transfer process. This proprietary algorithm determines if a school has improved its overall team talent, stayed the same, or declined in talent during the transfer window."
According to the ranking, ASU is gaining 18 transfers for 2023, while losing 15. It gives Arizona State a score of 82.
Colorado has a 59, while Michigan State has a 50. Michigan and UCF each have a 43 on On3.com's ranking score.
