First, I am going by Rivals rankings

Please remember rivals only uses your top 20 commits for rank

1.)Alabama - Will most likely remain #1. They are in on a lot of recruits with over 300 point difference.

Rank - Team - Current Commits - Points Behind Tennessee

2.)Tennessee (33)
3.)Miami (27) 333
4.)Texas A & M (18) 387
5.)Florida St.(23) 389
6.)Ohio St. (17) 518
7.)Notre Dame (19) 550
8.)Georgia (16) 588

Most likely as of now teams that have reached 20 recruits will most likley not ad enough points to pass us. That eliminates Miami and Florida St.

Texas A & M 387 points for 2 players. They have to get at least 1 5 star player and 1 player ranked 6.0 in order to pass us. They have interest (according to rivals) from 2 5 star players. Leonard Fournette (233), Tony Brown (212). If A & M gets just Tony Brown (which is very likely) they will be 175 points away. Means that they would only have to land 1 more recruit at 65 or higher then they will pass us. It is very possible for A & M to pass if they get T. Brown

Ohio State They only have to average 172 points for 3 commits to pass us. Which means 3 commits ranked 45 or higher. They are on a lot of guys radar. Very possible to pass us

Notre Dame 550 points. They would have to sign the #1 recruit twice to even have a chance to pass us. Highly Unlikely

Georgia 588 needs to average 147 or more. all of their recruits need to be above 145 in order to reach us. This is very possible.

Also, with the rankings keep in mind I am talking about the minimums that teams need. If they sign someone higher up then their next commit can be a little lower. So hypothetically if A & M flipped Hand they would get 250 points. Well, then they would only lack 137 point so they could sign someone a lot lower than what is mentioned above.

With all this, we will most likely finish 4 or 5 in recruiting. I for one am happy with this.

you aren't factoring in that they can sign more than just 20 total players with the newest recruits possibly being higher rated than some of their current commits. Same goes for Tennessee...we can increase our point total by landing higher rated recruits.

You are looking at this in the simplest way possible and your logic is flawed.

I was looking at this yesterday. Most of the players are off the board and the talent as usual is concentrated in the SEC. There are however enough studs remaining so that someone lower like LSU could potentially make a strong move as they have room in their 20. I was only looking at the SEC from a rankings perspective.

Our rating will go up with Adoree and D.Williams also. But Im not sure how we end up, because of the loophole. We might not be credited for some of our guys because they wont sign NLIs (if thats part of the loophole)

An old man's wishfull thinking: Adoree goes with the Big Orange, along with another beast, plus Saban turns burnt orange...taking most of his staff with him to Austin. The rising sun is bright orange.d

You're welcome to do the math

The "Saban to Texas" rumors have taken off after the Auburn game. There are also rumors of Malzahn to Texas too so who the hell knows?

Look at how many uncommited 5*s and high 4*s there are.

Then realize how many of those are going to schools like UGA, UF, and especially Bama and LSU.

5*s count for a ton of points, fair or not. We'll probably finish 4-5th in the SEC, but still in the top 10 overall.

Based on sheer numbers, we will have the #1 class. No disputing that.

Yeah for sure, why does Rivals only use the top 20 in each class to determine the class ranking?

That has never made sense to me. Why don't they just call their recruiting NC the 'class with the top 20 players'? I mean that's what it is. Makes way more sense to just have every player in the class count towards the class ranking.

I live in South Alabama and people here are starting to panic. There is a rumor going around that Saban to Texas is a done deal.

I need more popcorn :popcorn:

A saban to texas rumor surfaced on many sports talk shows two years ago, more will be known after bowl season.

I think they use the top 20 because they know every school is taking a different number of kids, so they had to pick an arbitrary number. I'd go with the top 25 though.

Not saying Saban is going to Texas or anywhere but, he has done stayed @ Bama longer than I thought he would.

I would like to see Malazhan to Texas and Saban to AU and Dooley to bama that would be awesome!

Yeah I still think it's just a little weird. If our current class played Bama's current class in an 11-11 football game, we would have 22 guys on the sideline to their 13. I just think overall numbers have got to count for something.

Building depth and good depth all they way down through you 3rd and 4th stringers and practice squads is what wins you championships.

FL not getting any of the uncommitted 5s and high 4s. FL likely loses Dalvin Cook to FSU.

UT's been through this. Nobody wants to go with a coach on the Hot Seat.

Were gonna be so darn good, that we get the #1-5 recruiting class all by ourselves!

We have Peyton Manning level talent masked in each of our recruits and on Aug 30, we open a can of Instant Whip Arse!!!
