For the second time in three years, and barring any last-minute tweaking by the recruiting service, the Crimson Tide have claimed Rivals, title of the country's top recruiting class. Bama came into the day in the same position, and held off a late charge from USC that wasn't stemmed until the Trojans lost five-star athlete De'Anthony Thomas to Oregon. USC tentatively finished with the No. 4 class.
Florida State (No. 1 in ESPN’s rankings) and Texas flipped positions from where they started today, with the Seminoles finishing No. 2 and the Longhorns No. 3. Georgia rounded out the top five with their highest finish since coming in at No. 4 in 2006.
LSU, Auburn (No. 1 in Scout.com rankings), Clemson, which had arguably the best day of any school in the country, all things considered, Oregon, and Notre Dame (No. 1 in MaxPreps rankings) were Nos. 6-10. Clemson and Oregon earned their first top 10 rankings in Rivals history.
All told, the SEC, as expected, dominated the upper echelon of the rankings, putting a staggering nine of their 12 schools inside the Top 25. Eight of those were Top 20 schools.
