| The recruiting chart presented below is a 4 year composite of ESPN’s, 247 Sports, & Rivals’ respective Recruiting Systems. The recruiting classes used were from 2022 thru 2025. We used each site (ESPN, 247. & Rivals) and calculated a 4 year team avg., specific to that site’s criteria. As a result of this process, Rival’s evaluation scores were calculated independently and are, in fact, different from the rankings of ESPN & or 247 Sports. The number listed under A.R. (Average Rank) is the mean rank a team earned on that site over a 4-yr period. Thus, Georgia’s average class rank in Rivals during that time frame (2022 – 2025) was 2.0, best on Rivals. UGA remained the Lowest/best recruiting program in the country, when 247 Sports (2.0) & ESPN (2.0) are factored into the matrix! The next two (2) teams were also from the Southeastern, #2 Alabama 2.2 & #3 Texas at 3.4. Ohio State, a B-10 Team, was 4th, earning a 4.0 average rank on ESPN, a 4.3 mean according to 247 Sports calculations, a 3.8 score on Rivals, leading OSU to a composite score of 4.0 … 4th best in the nation! The SEC continued its dominance of the Top Ten; placing LSU 5th (8.9), OU 6th (9.6), & TX A.M 9th (10.9)! The B-10 added two (2) more teams, Oregon @ #8, earning a 10.4 avg. & #10 Michigan with an average class rank of 11.3. Notre Dame is the only non SEC/B-10 team to break-into the Top Ten, the Irish are at number 7, with an average class rank from 2022 thru 2025 of 9.9. That said, do not overlook the Transfer Portal, as it can & often does significantly impact a team’s roster & their season’s win/loss record! Michigan State went 2-5 in 2020 to 11-3 in 2021, with the 42nd ranked class in 2021 & in that four (4) year recruiting cycle, MSU highest rated class was in 2019 @ 28th! So how the growth? Simple! The Spartans brought in 20 plus transfers and it changed everything about their roster and on-field performance! So when considering how a team will perform in 2025, you must be aware of portal transfers (in & out), along with the recruited class of that year! Please note, the teams listed below are Power 5 Conference teams with only ND added into the count. With the disintegration of the PAC 12, OR St & WA State were outliers and, for now, on SCFP, we continued to use both teams & the P-12 in this class ranking matrix. We count ND as a P5 for the following reasons. The Southeastern & Big Ten Conferences recognize ND, as a Power Five program for scheduling purposes and Notre Dame was at the table, a founding member, when the Power 5 concept was enacted! Thus on SCFP (Sully’s College Football Page) we track 70 teams! |
