Of course, being atop the 247Sports Team Composite Rankings in mid-April is a lot different than finishing there, but the turnaround has been remarkable after what looked like some pretty big losses of some priority targets to other programs.

Just behind Ohio State is two-time defending national champion Georgia, followed by Michigan, LSU, Florida State, Penn State, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Florida, and Oregon rounding out the top ten.
Noticeably missing is Alabama, but you can bet the Tide will be in the mix as a historically big closer throughout the past decade and more.
