Why is ESPN team rankings so out of whack for Stanford?

In previous years, I've noticed the rating of our commits on ESPN weren't as high as the dedicated recruiting services. This year there's a very wide gap in our current team ranking.

With 20 commits:

#18 Rivals
#25 247sports
#29 Scout
#38 ESPN

What are the reasons for the huge difference between Rivals and ESPN? And has anyone done an analysis on SEC bias in their rankings, just like there seems to be SEC bias in their coverage?
