Something To Shout About

FSU (ESPNU)

Florida State might have made the biggest splash with some big commits announcing on signing day, but it was Alabama that ended up with the nation's top class.

The Crimson Tide didn't have any signing day theatrics -- the addition of ESPNU 150 DT Korren Kirven (Lynchburg, Va./Brookville) was about their only surprise -- but remain in the top spot, followed by FSU, Texas, Florida and Georgia.

Ohio State wasn't even in the top 25 before Urban Meyer took over, but now the Buckeyes sit at No. 6, followed by Michigan, Miami, Clemson and Notre Dame. Stanford (No. 12), USC (No. 13), Washington (No. 23), Rutgers (No. 24) and Virginia Tech all had strong finishes, as well.

While the rankings still aren't complete with some unsigned players out there, it's also important to remember it's what they do on the field that will matter most. But for now, as always, let the debate begin.
