2011 by Holly Anderson

Debate the validity of ranking college football recruiting classes all you want, but real games don't start up again until September, and assigning winners and losers for 2011 National Signing Day is the only way we, as a nation, will be able to assert tribal superiority over our most hated gridiron foes between now and spring camp injury pools. (Everybody does those, right?) With less than 24 hours to go before creaky fax machines wheeze to life in football offices from coast to coast, here are the current clubhouse leaders in college football recruiting, as ranked by our friends at Rivals:

1. Alabama
2. Texas
3. Florida State
4. LSU
5. USC
6. Auburn
7. Georgia
8. Oregon
9. Notre Dame
