For the first time since 2010, Alabama does not lead Rivals.com's team recruiting rankings. USC, which also led Rivals.com's rankings in '10, jumped the Crimson Tide for the top spot in '15. Alabama will instead have to settle for the second-ranked class in the country.

The Trojans closed out their recruiting this year with a flourish, landing four five-star recruits between Tuesday and Wednesday to finish with 26 total commitments, 21 of whom were rated four- or five-star talents. The last time USC topped the recruiting rankings was its final class before NCAA-imposed sanctions limited the number of scholarships available. With those sanctions ending last summer, the Trojans picked up where they left off.

Looks like the real USC is priming for comeback. That Butch Jones at Tenn can sure recruit.

Yep, Butch is trying his best to get UT back to the glory days again. Looks promising.

Alabama still won the recruiting national title in 3 of the 5 national recruiting services.

Bama #1 - ESPN, 247 Sports, and CBS Sports/Tom Lemming
USC #1 - Rivals and Scout

Of course I realize that the real rankings should be compiled about 3 to 4 years down the road.

24/7 has Tennessee recruiting at #4 behind Alabama, USC, and Florida State. However, Tennessee has the greatest number of 4star recruits, almost twice of that than any of the others. It has taken this long to overcome the debacle left by Lane Kiffen and Ed Orgeron.

Glad to see South Carolina getting a good chance at getting some good players. They need some help.

At least we beat Georgia this year!

Glad to see the Vols recruiting well. I think they will be greatly improved next season.

The REAL USC was USC before California was a state.
