Ranking the Power 5 Conferences National Signing Day performances

With National Signing Day finally over, here’s a look at how the Power 5 Conferences fared. The SEC dominated as usual, but what about the others?

The 2017 season and beyond will be interesting to say the least. With so many recruits choosing a variety of schools, the SEC may not be the dominant conference for much longer.

The Power 5 Conferences battled it out for Conference Supremacy on the recruiting trail and it all culminated on  National Signing Day. There was trolling, there was a lot of creative announcement videos, and also one surprise that boosted one conferences overall output.

A lot of teams strengthened their conference foothold with good days overall, but the USC Trojans put everyone on notice as well on February 1. Teams like Michigan and Ohio State used National Signing Day as a stepping stone towards a National Championship, but so did the Trojans.

The Southeastern Conference took the most five-star recruits with nine total, according to 247 Sports. Closely behind them was the Big Ten Conference, who signed eight five-star recruits in total. And right behind them was the Pac-12 Conference with seven five-star recruits. Despite a strong 2016 season as a conference, some teams in the ACC had an underwhelming National Signing Day on paper.

That’s just a preview, but it shows the college football recruiting landscape is shifting. Here are the Power 5 Conference National Signing Day performance rankings.
