So this is the last weekend before real football starts. Just wanted to put this up to show where we are at. I believe there is a early signing period in December (Dec. 20-22) and then NSD is February 7th. Lots of things can change, and some certainly will. But here is where we are at right now.
247 Composite
Format: National rank/conference rank
Ohio State : 1/1
Penn State : 4/2
Michigan : 15/3
Maryland : 16/4
Minnesota : 31/5
Wisconsin : 33/6
Michigan State : 34/7
Nebraska : 35/8
Northwestern : 37/9
Rutgers : 50/10
Purdue : 53 /11
Indiana : 60/12
Illinois : 65/13
Iowa : 66/14
A few thoughts on this:
OSU and PSU are hammering everyone right now. PSU has 23 commits and can only take 2 more. OSU has 16 and has room to grow.
Michigan has 13 and should climb into top 10 and perhaps top 5.
Maryland looks nice up there but it isn't going to last. Terps have 20 commits and are mostly done with the class. It probably will stay in the top 25 but even if not it shouldn't go past 30 (unless the season goes terribly wrong and recruits bail).
Minnesota is mostly done with 23 recruits as is Purdue with 21 recruits.
Wisconsin and Rutgers both have 18 recruits. They have a little room but probably won't add too much.
Michigan State (15), Nebraska (10), Northwestern (15), Indiana (14) , Illinois (12) , Iowa (11) all have plenty of room to grow and improve their ranking. Also, I'm pretty surprised to see Iowa down at the bottom. I don't see them staying there.
So what do you all think? Insights? Predictions on where your team finishes?
