Final SEC recruiting rankings from different media outlets
The SEC’s recruiting classes are often considered among the best in the nation, but where they rank compared to the rest of the nation is a matter of opinion.
With that in mind, SDS looked at where all 14 SEC teams were slotted in the team class rankings by four major recruiting outlets, then averaged those four rankings to try and gain an understanding of how those classes compare to the rest of the country.
Take a look:

Alabama | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1.25 |
Arkansas | 23 | 22 | 22 | 25 | 23 |
Auburn | 9 | 7 | 3 | 6 | 6.25 |
Florida | 21 | 20 | 29 | 23 | 23.25 |
