Recruiting has made college football a year-round sport, and nobody does it better than the SEC. The last time a team outside the conference earned the No. 1 overall ranking according to the 247Sports Composite was 2008, and it should come as no surprise the league has won more national championships and produced more NFL draft picks than any other since.
With the 2019 recruiting cycle coming to a close last week, the SEC once again dominated the national recruiting rankings. Alabama regained the No. 1 spot it held from 2011-17, barely holding off Georgia, which ended Bama’s streak and ruled the recruiting trail last year.
