Five days remain before the NCAA’s month-long dead period takes effect, and coaches are wrapping up recruiting before bowl preparations.
Here’s how SEC programs compare with one another.
Alabama added a pair of commitments in the last week, extending its lead as the nation’s best class.
Florida, with new head coach Jim McElwain, has its work cut out for it trying to salvage a class that plummeted after several prospects de-committed.
Georgia, Texas A&M, Tennessee and South Carolina join the Crimson Tide in the top 10 nationally, while traditional powers such as Auburn and LSU are creeping up.
Rankings are based on composite team rankings from 247Sports.
