2021 SEC Recruiting Rankings, Breakdown

No, really. How good were the SEC classes this 2021 recruiting season?

SEC East

1. Georgia Bulldogs

The bar is set at a ridiculously high level for Georgia recruiting, and Kirby Smart and his staff hit it. There’s the normal array of four and five-star guys with a little bit of something for every spot, but it’s all about Brock Vandagriff. If he’s not the best quarterback recruit of the 2021 season, he’s close. As long as he’s close to being as good as advertised, this is a class to keep the program’s national title expectations high.

2. Florida Gators

It’s not as good a class as the last few, but it’s close enough. No, this isn’t as strong as what Alabama and Georgia brought in, but it’s more than fine for what it needed to do. There isn’t a superstar quarterback signing – Carlos Del Rio is a good prospect, though – and there isn’t a ton for the skills spots, but the defense is loading up with a slew of excellent defensive backs to throw at the pass D problem.
– 2021 Schedule Analysis, Best & Worst Scenarios

3. Tennessee Volunteers

It’s not nearly the class of 2020, but considering all the craziness, all of the changes, and all of the uncertainty, it’s a terrific group coming in. Josh Heupel didn’t get a chance to do much of anything, but the former staff got the job done to load up with a slew of strong offensive talents who should thrive under the new regime.

4. Missouri Tigers

It might not quite be the best recruiting class since Missouri joined the SEC, but it’s not all that far off after Eliah Drinkwitz got a full year to hit the recruiting trail. The pass rush got the most help with a tremendous group of ends, the secondary got more bodies, and Tyler Macon is a dangerous dual-threat quarterback who should be a perfect fit for what the coaching staff wants to do.
– 2021 Schedule Analysis, Best & Worst Scenarios

5. Kentucky Wildcats

It’s okay. Kentucky never lands the elite of the elite talents, and it’s good at succeeding in a recruit-to-a-type sort of way, but this isn’t as strong as the 2020 class and there are a few holes. The 2022 class has to focus more on the defensive line and offensive backfield, but that’s being a bit nitpicky. The receivers are nice, the defensive backs are sneaky-solid, and for what UK does, it’s a fine group.
– 2021 Schedule Analysis, Best & Worst Scenarios

6. Vanderbilt Commodores

Who comes up with a strong recruiting class after a coaching change? Most of the work was done by Derek Mason and the former staff and new head man Clark Lea picked up from there. It’s a big class that might be the program’s best in several years starting with a whole lot of very good prospects for the defense. WR Quincy Skinner is one of the stars of the class, but this group is put together to lock down the other side of the ball.
– 2021 Schedule Analysis, Best & Worst Scenarios

7. South Carolina Gamecocks

It’s a rough class mostly because of 1) the midseason coaching change and 2) the bigger classes in the previous years. The hope is for QB Colten Gauthier to make this small group great – if you can find a strong SEC starting quarterback, the class is made – but there’s no real star power. The other odd thing? There’s not a lot from South Carolina with just three in-state players signing.

2021 Big Ten Recruiting Rankings, Breakdown

No, really. How good were the Big Ten classes this 2021 recruiting season?

Big Ten East

1. Ohio State Buckeyes

It might not be the nation’s best recruiting class, but in a horseshoes-and-hand-grenades sort of way, it’s in the discussion with the Alabamas, Georgias and Oregons of the world – that’s all that matters. As always, the Buckeyes are getting a slew of guys making a stop-over in Columbus on their way to the NFL.

If Emeka Egbuka isn’t the nation’s best receiver prospect, he’s close. If Jack Sawyer isn’t the best defensive end, if Donovan Jackson isn’t the best offensive guard, and if Kyle McCord isn’t the best quarterback – and on and on – they’re all close.

2. Michigan Wolverines

Dog Jim Harbaugh and his era all you want, but recruiting hasn’t been an issue. Yeah, on the field and in the recruiting game, Michigan isn’t Ohio State, but that’s not quite a fair comparison even though beating that program is what matters. The Wolverines got their stars for the backfield in QB JJ McCarthy and RB Donovan Edwards, the O line gets were excellent, and it’s a strong overall class full of depth, versatility and talent.

3. Penn State Nittany Lions

Flip a coin or the third spot between Penn State and Maryland. The Terps got more quantity to go along with a few top-shelf parts, but Penn State got a few more big-time prospects. There isn’t a Micah Parsons or Devyn Ford type of elite guys, but there are a few who are close enough to be All-Big Ten difference-makers.

4. Maryland Terrapins

There were a few pickups for the offensive side, but this class is about defense, defense and defense. Head coach Mike Locksley was known for being a top-shelf recruiter when Maryland hired him, and he’s starting to change the talent level with a strong class last year and a fantastic one this season. He and his staff went hard after the star linebackers – getting Terrence Lewis and Branden Jennings out of Florida was massive.

5. Michigan State Spartans

Ehhhh, okay. It’s a recruiting class – no more, no less. Michigan State always went with a recruit-to-a-type thing under Mark Dantonio, and it all worked out just fine. Can Mel Tucker start to get the bigger prospects as he goes forward? The problem isn’t getting the guys to compete with Ohio State and Michigan – it’s getting the guys to compete with what Maryland is bringing in.

6. Rutgers Scarlet Knights

It’s not a stretch to call this the program’s best recruiting class in at least ten years, maybe more. It helps that it’s a big class full of commitments, but Greg Schiano is getting some real, live talents, too. He didn’t exactly put a fence around New Jersey, but he landed nine in-state players – getting LB Khayri Banton was big – but it’s not about getting a lot of local guys, it’s about getting the right ones.

7. Indiana Hoosiers

Even with the recent success, Indiana is never going to battle with Ohio State  and Michigan for the star recruits. However, there isn’t any one area that’s all that special – except for, potentially, receiver – and there aren’t a whole lot of stars. If Donaven McCulley really is the next great quarterback, then the class works, but there’s not a lot for the lines to build around.

2021 Big 12 Recruiting Rankings, Breakdown

No, really. How good were the Big 12 classes this 2021 recruiting season?

1. Oklahoma

Once again, Oklahoma dominated the conference recruiting by a mile helped by the coaching uncertainty at Texas throughout the process and with the rest of the Big 12 being the rest of the Big 12. There’s more for the already-great passing game, more pass rushers, and more talent with the top ten Sooner signings stronger than anything the rest of the Big 12 – maybe without Texas – can put together combined.

2. Texas

It’s fine. Compared to the rest of the Big 12 it’s great, compared to Oklahoma it’s just okay, and considering the coaching uncertainty, it’s a solid class. It’s not nearly as huge as the 2019 version, and last year’s class cranked up the speed and talent level, but this one has a whole lot of athletes, a lot for the defense backfield and receiver, and the lines will be left for future classes.

3. West Virginia

The first class under Neal Brown was mostly about infrastructure, but this one is going after the future stars for the skill spots with good running backs, a few nice tight ends, and the pass rushers to be more disruptive. No, the Mountaineers aren’t going to compete with Oklahoma and Texas for talent, but they got enough great prospects to be among the best of the league’s other eight teams.

4. Oklahoma State

The secondary got enough talent to see a decent upgrade going forward, and there were a whole lot of receiver prospects. There’s not a ton of high-end talent, but the program never gets the big-time five-star types and it still does more than fine. It’s a very good class, but it’s not close to what Oklahoma was able to get and it doesn’t have high-end talent of Texas.

5. Kansas

The recruiting has been building. Les Miles upgraded the talent level in last year’s class, and this one takes things up a few notches with a whole slew of defensive backs who could’ve played anywhere in the Big 12, and with a nod to the passing game with a few quarterbacks to develop along with some good-looking receivers.

What’s Missing | 2021 All-Big 12 Recruiting Team

6. Iowa State

It’s another class of solid Iowa State prospects without a whole slew of superstars, but there are just enough good players to develop into what the program does. RB Eli Sanders is more of a quick back than the usual pounder, and the few offensive linemen brought in are good.

7. TCU

If the 2019 class was about quantity, and the 2002 class was about quality, this one is in the middle. There’s enough skill talent to add to the mix to build around for the near future, and as always under Gary Patterson, write the positions for the prospects in pencil – they’ll be moved around where they’ll fit best.

8. Kansas State

Lsat year was about getting bodies and building things up under head coach Chris Klieman, but this time around the class is looking to do more to upgrade the overall talent level. QB Jake Rubley is the main man for the near future and the star to build around, but the defense got the most bulk talent.

9. Texas Tech

You never want to rely on two players to make a recruiting class, but it’s all about QB Behren Morton and RB Cam’Ron Vadez. They’re the two high-end talents who could’ve gone almost anywhere, and they’re what take this class from okay to potentially strong.

10. Baylor

The class a few years ago was strong, there wasn’t any time for Dave Aranda to work in 2020, and now this season’s class is just sort of okay. The hope was for the full season to load up would lead to something big, but it’s a smallish haul of prospects without any sure-thing superstars.

2021 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football Schedule

Full schedule analysis with best and worst scenarios below

Sept. 5 at Florida State

Sept. 11 Toledo

Sept. 18 Purdue

Sept. 25 Wisconsin (in Chicago)

Oct. 2 Cincinnati

Oct. 9 at Virginia Tech

Oct. 16 OPEN DATE

Oct. 23 USC

Oct. 30 North Carolina

Nov. 6 Navy

Nov. 13 at Virginia

Nov. 20 Georgia Tech

Nov. 27 at Stanford

Notre Dame Football Schedule Analysis: This schedule isn’t close to fair, but Notre Dame brought it on itself. If it found a way to be a full-time ACC team it could’ve had it a whole lot easier than this nightmare.

There are five dates with the ACC – at Florida State, at Virginia Tech, North Carolina, at Virginia, Georgia Tech – and while there’s no Clemson or Miami, playing UNC isn’t fun the three road dates are all going to be challenging in their own ways.

The easiest non-ACC games are likely Navy – but that might change fast – and against a Toledo team that might be good enough to win the MAC. Those are hardly the normal layups.

Oh yeah, and USC is back on the schedule. And Purdue is making the trip up the road. And there’s that whole Cincinnati thing with just about everyone back. And if that wasn’t enough, the Irish go to Chicago to deal with Wisconsin. And if that wasn’t enough, the season finishes up in Palo Alto against Stanford.

Notre Dame Football Schedule Best Case Scenario: 11-1. It’s an absolutely brutal slate, but take each game on its own merits and there isn’t any one the Irish can’t win. Wisconsin, Purdue, Cincinnati, at Virginia Tech, USC, North Carolina, at Virginia, at Stanford is way too tough a slate to get through cleanly, but if they’re that good, they can get close.

Notre Dame Football Schedule Worst Case Scenario: 8-4. It’s an absolutely brutal slate, but take each game on its own merits and … yeeeeeeesh. Forgetting all of those other tough teams, what if Florida State is solid again? What if the Navy option works on the right day, and what if Toledo just so happens to be this year’s power team from the Group of Five? Would you be that shocked if the Irish lost to the Badgers, Tar Heels, Trojans and dropped one other game?

Dec. 4 ACC Championship (in Charlotte)

Games vs. The Coastal: at Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech

Missed Teams From The Coastal: Duke, Miami, North Carolina, Pitt, Virginia, Virginia Tech

Boston College Eagles Football Schedule Analysis: It couldn’t be softer and fluffier to start a season than Colgate, at UMass and at Temple. The Missouri game makes up for it, and starting out the season at Clemson certainly plays a role. After dealing with the Colgate thing, five of the next seven games are on the road. However, three of the last four – all in November – are at home around a road date with Georgia Tech.

Boston College Eagles Football Schedule Best Case Scenario: 9-3. Assume a loss at Clemson and at least two other defeats along the way, but the Eagles don’t get Notre Dame or North Carolina. This won’t be a good enough team to roll at will through the ACC – or Missouri – but if everything goes right, there’s no one on the slate outside of Clemson that BC can’t beat.

Boston College Eagles Football Schedule Worst Case Scenario: 5-7. There’s no real excuse with this slate to not at least get to .500. Clemson is a given loss, but the Eagles drop the road dates to Louisville and either Syracuse or Georgia Tech, too. Missouri is a loss, Virginia Tech is a loss, and Florida State and/or Wake Forest in a wildly disappointing run.

Nov. 27 at South Carolina

Dec. 4 ACC Championship (in Charlotte)

Games vs. The Coastal: Georgia Tech, at Pitt

Missed Teams From The Coastal: Duke, Miami, North Carolina, Virginia, Virginia Tech

Clemson Tigers Football Schedule Analysis: It’s Clemson, so everyone on the schedule is freaked out about having to play the national championship-level team, but dealing with Georgia to open the season matters. That’s a talent-even game that’s a far bigger showdown for the SEC side – Clemson can lose this, run the table and be fine and Georgia has a much tougher road the rest fo the way.

There’s no North Carolina on the Tiger slate, going to NC State and South Carolina will garner some interest, and five of the last nine games are on the road, but … whatever. Clemson will be a double-digit favorite against everyone but the Dawgs.

Clemson Tigers Football Schedule Best Case Scenario: 12-0. There’s that Georgia game, and a whole lot of four-foot putts. They’re not all going to be easy – there’s always at least one weird close call game against a vastly inferior team – but it’ll take something amazing for anyone on this slate other than UGA to pull off a win,

Clemson Tigers Football Schedule Worst Case Scenario: 9-3. Realistically, the worst case scenario is 10-2 with a loss to Georgia and one major slip-up along the way, but that’s a bit too aggressive. Maybe if injuries strike, or if Pitt has a big day from its pass rush at home, or thing could get dicey if Florida State or South Carolina rock in the right moment, but there’s no Notre Dame or North Carolina or Virginia Tech.

Dec. 4 ACC Championship (in Charlotte)

Games vs. The Atlantic: Louisville, at Wake Forest

Missed Teams From The Atlantic: Boston College, Clemson, Florida State, NC State, Syracuse

Duke Blue Devils Football Schedule Analysis: Can the Blue Devils get by Northwestern at home? Do that, and it’s likely a 4-0 start to the season with Georgia Tech a home date coming up after the road trip to North Carolina.

However, there’s a run of three road games in four October dates. That might be a rough month, but the finishing kick gets three home games in Durham. Missing Clemson from the Atlantic is big, but going to Wake Forest and playing Louisville on a Thursday night won’t be easy.

Duke Blue Devils Football Schedule Best Case Scenario: 8-4. The schedule just isn’t all that awful. It’ll take something truly special to get to 8-4, but beat Northwestern, take out Georgia Tech, Pitt and Louisville at home, and it’s possible. There’s no Clemson or Notre Dame to face, and the Miami game is home, but …

Duke Blue Devils Football Schedule Worst Case Scenario: 4-8. It’s hardly a given that the Blue Devils can get past Northwestern, or Georgia Tech, or anyone in ACC play. They’ll come up with victories over Charlotte, North Carolina A&T, and most likely Kansas early on, and they’ll get one other win somewhere, along the way. But it’s highly possible that it could be about it, especially with all of the road games in the middle of the season.

Dec. 4 ACC Championship (in Charlotte)

Games vs. The Coastal: Boston College, at Clemson,

Missed Teams From The Atlantic: Florida State, Louisville, NC State, Syracuse, Wake Forest

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Football Schedule Analysis: It’s an easy start, and the Yellow Jackets need Northern Illinois and Kennesaw State to warm up. On the good side, four of the first five games are at home. On the other side, two of those home games against North Carolina and Pitt, and the road game in between them all is at Clemson.

And then comes the run of three road games in four, and that’s finished off by the date at Miami. Throw in the date at Notre Dame and the regular season finale against Georgia, and … uh oh.

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Football Schedule Best Case Scenario: 7-5. There’s an off-chance that Georgia Tech gets everything to work and pulls of big home wins over North Carolina and Pitt early on. It doesn’t get thumped in the middle of the season, gets by Boston College, and it does just enough to come up with a winning campaign.

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Football Schedule Worst Case Scenario: 3-9. There are way too many almost sure-thing losses with the road games at Clemson, Notre Dame and Miami along with the home dates with North Carolina, Virginia Tech and Georgia. The Yellow Jackets could win one of those, maybe even two, but in the worst possible scenario, there are misses against everyone else, too.

Florida State Seminoles Football Schedule Analysis: FSU has a slew of issues with its schedule. It starts at home against Notre Dame, it finishes with a trip to Florida, and there are a whole lot of nasty things going on in between with a trip to North Carolina and a date against Miami from the Coastal. If that wasn’t rough enough, the Clemson game is on the road.

On the plus side, there’s a good midseason run of five home games in seven dates – around those road trips to UNC and Clemson – before closing out with two games away from Tallahassee. The team from Florida playing in Boston on November 20th won’t be a whole lot of fun.

Florida State Seminoles Football Schedule Best Case Scenario: 8-4. Assume losses on the road at Clemson and Florida, but for this to be a strong season there has to be at least a split against Notre Dame and North Carolina. There will be a loss somewhere else on in the mix – like at Wake Forest or at Boston College – but enough positive moments to get to eight wins.

Florida State Seminoles Football Schedule Worst Case Scenario: 4-8. Florida State will beat UMass and Jacksonville State. Start with those two wins, and then if everything goes wrong, it’s going to be a huge struggle from there with tough loss after tough loss. The home game against Syracuse might be the only other game the team is favored.
