2008 Overrated/Underrated Teams

2009 Enrollment Poll (Rivals)

Enrolled Team Rankings Top 25


1. Alabama
SIGNING DAY RANK: 1
Officially the Tide didn't have four players enroll, but three of the four were grayshirts. It's a good thing when you can get quality three-star prospects to grayshirt for you. The biggest loss was Dial, who ranked as one of the top 35 defensive tackles in the nation.

2. LSU
SIGNING DAY RANK: 2

3. Ohio State
SIGNING DAY RANK: 3

 23. Auburn
SIGNING DAY RANK: 19
The Tigers signed 28 players, but seven players failed to make it to campus. Most notable in the group were four-star defensive backs Reggie Taylor and Taikwon Paige. But while that's important, maybe the more important story is who made it in. Many people questioned whether Tyrik Rollison would make grades, but he did and could be the future star of the Tigers offense

24. Nebraska
SIGNING DAY RANK: 28

25. Penn State
