    Scout's layout is terrible. They don't have a good front page for national news like Rivals does, and even their individual sites for each school - the layout is just plain ugly.

    As far as school ratings go, both are guilty of overhyping certain schools' players, but Rivals is worse. And as drc said, Scout has a tendency to adjust their ratings to match Rivals, which discredits them some.

    I don't pay a whole lot of attention to the number of stars an athlete has, so I am not real sure which is better at that. Rivals seems to always get more respect in that department, although I've heard that Scout has a better JUCO system.

    As for LSU's Rivals & Scout pages, I don't like Mike S. at Tigerbait & Sonny at TigerRag is great...

    Rivals is the better overall site IMO and Rivals is more "well known".

    Rivals has been rumored to be co-owned by a Bama fan and that is why Bama has such a high class. Bama's class is nothing to celebrate. They got most of the leftovers.

    Sorry, but Rivals is more credible.
