1. Texas 2. Notre Dame 3. Georgia 4. Clemson 5. UCLA 6. LSU 7. Texas A&M 8. Florida 9. Ohio State 10. Pittsburgh http://www.sportingnews.com/cfootball/ This was last updated before Clemons committed. So we'd definately move up if they updated it to include the 5 since that time.
Nice to look at but that list will be about 90% changed on signing day I believe. Schools like Miami, FSU, Tenn. and USC are perenially late closers and we'll see Notre Dame, Clemson, UCLA, aTm and Pitt all falling off that list.
lsu should definetely move up to #2 on that list after they update through gbadyu. the only reason texas is the obvious #1 is because they have 22 commits. they are pretty much finished for the year now(can only take 3 more) so their class isnt going to get much better than it already is.
I think recent history says you are right, but why are those schools going to fall off that list? I hope LSU doesn't fall off.
IMO, no way we fall out of the top 10. Out of 12 commits, one is a 5 star, seven others are 4 stars, and another is a JUCO, who haven't been ranked yet. That is quite an impressive start. There is still tons of talent left in Louisiana and many other guys out of state that still have us pretty high. I don't see it happening, but if we could just land one more 5 star guy we'd be almost certainly a lock for the top 5.
Like I mentioned earlier, many of the great programs always get off to very slow starts. Look at the teams that are missing from that list, USC ,Miami, FSU, Michigan, OU, Nebraska, Tenn., Auburn coming off of an undefeated season, Iowa, Cal( they're really hot under Tedford), etc. I may be wrong, one or 2 of them could stay hot throughout the entire recruitng period and land in the top 10, especially Notre Dame. But it is just way too early to rank teams, way too early.
