College football recruiting is a marathon, not a
sprint. Still, there are plenty of college football programs off to a
great start. As we enter the month of November. Here are the TheInsiders.com
Top 25 recruiting classes.
Every Thursday for the next 14 weeks, TheInsiders.com
will update the national team recruiting rankings. The total rank is based
on two things - subjective opinion and player rankings by TheInsiders.com.
We have also added a few wrinkles to each team
such as average star rankings, average prospect rank of commitment, the
headliner commit thus far and the "big fish on the hook." The
later represents the biggest name prospect out there that that team has a good
chance of signing. Obviously, with three months until Signing Day, the
numbers and names will change. Junior College commitments will be included
and so will some soft commitments. The definition of a soft
commitment is a prospect publicly committing to a school but openly considering
others. If we feel secure that he will honor the commitment, despite
taking trips, we will include them with that team's commitment list. This
is part of the subjective rankings. There is a key of definitions below
the Top 25 table.
In week one of our Top 25 rankings, the LSU
Tigers grab the number one spot, just edging out Texas A&M.
LSU's average commitment is a four-star prospect with an average ranking of just
over 24. A&M is off to a terrific start, especially on the defensive
side of the ball. Recruiting power Texas comes it at number three
with Georgia and Alabama grabbing the number four and five
slots. Notre Dame is one of the great stories this season in
college football. Head Coach Tyrone Willingham is doing a masterful job
both on and off the field. The Fighting Irish are setting themselves up
for a banner year and they are sitting pretty at number six. The seventh
ranked team this week is North Carolina, while football powers Miami,
Oklahoma, and Michigan round out the top 10.
