Week 13 of the college football season is in the books but recruiting never stops. Let’s take a look at the updated recruiting rankings.
College football is getting a little crazy these days as coaches are learning their fates with their respective programs. This will have a huge impact on recruiting over the next couple of months leading into National Signing Day.
In fact, UCLA has fired Jim Mora and hired Chip Kelly, Florida has fired Jim McElwain and hired Dan Mullen, Nebraska has fired Mike Riley, Tennessee has fired Butch Jones, Texas A&M let Kevin Sumlin go and Arkansas dropped Bret Bielema.
Who moved in the top 10 team recruiting rankings this week after all of the coaching moves?
Let’s check out the 247Sports top 10 rankings after Week 13:
- Ohio State: 18 commits
- Texas: 18 commits
- Penn State: 22 commits
- Miami: 19 commits
- Georgia: 18 commits
- Oregon: 24 commits
- Notre Dame: 19 commits
- Oklahoma: 20 commits
- Florida State: 18 commits
- Texas A&M: 16 commits
It’s actually quite the surprise to see Texas A&M jump into the top 10 this week, especially after the news of Kevin Sumlin’s firing came out. There will likely be decommitments for the Aggies, but for now, the 2018 class is top-10 worthy.
Florida State also moved up one spot as the Florida Gators fell from the ranks. For yet another week, Ohio State remains the No. 1 team in the recruiting ranks, and that remains true in the ESPN team rankings as well.
Now, here’s a look at the ESPN rankings after Week 13:
- Ohio State
- Texas
- Penn State
- Miami
- Georgia
- Oregon
- Oklahoma
- Notre Dame
- Florida State
- Florida
The ESPN rankings remained exactly the same after Week 13 as no real news broke on the recruiting trail for these teams. Expect that to change soon as news of coach firings and hirings continues to take place.
Wondering where Texas A&M ranks in this list as opposed to No. 10 in 247Sports‘? The Aggies are sitting at No. 12, but could move up, or down, soon depending on who’s hired to lead the program.
