It was another dominant day for SEC recruiting. Once again, the conference comes in on top of everybody, with six teams in the Top 10 according to rivals and 11 teams in the Top 25.

The other three classes were still in the Top 50, spelling total domination for the SEC. Knowing this, having a highly-ranked recruiting class in the conference hardly means anything. If you have a Top 15 class, you’re in the middle of the pack in the SEC, making this by far the deepest conference in America still.

Nothing has changed.

    • But what has changed is where the teams in the conference are standing, and quite a few have more to celebrate than others. It was no surprise who came in at No. 1, and it was also no surprise who came in at No. 2.

    It was a surprise, however,  the way some of the other teams ranked in the conference, but overall they are so jumbled that it really comes down to coaching to determine who the best team in the conference will be based on this class.

    But in the SEC, every coach had a good Christmas. Let’s take a look at and grade how each team’s National Signing Day played out in the conference. Before we get started, though, know that this site goes in order of Rivals rankings, but the ranking does not always dictate the grade a team will receive.

    That is determined by the system the program has and what it needs going forward. So with that, here are our grades.
