The "Un-Talked" About Story on Recruiting...

It's a term called "over-signing" and some college football programs are more willing to do it, than others...

Remember -- the NCAA limits FBS teams to 85 full scholarships on their football roster.

Here's a look at the last four signing classes (2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019) for the teams going into this year's College Football Playoff -- compared to Notre Dame, Alabama, Georgia, Michigan and USC.

I've also added in a comparison of total wins over the last three football seasons (including bowls / playoffs):

LSU:

  • 2016: 27 -- 2nd ranked class
  • 2017: 24 -- 7th ranked class
  • 2018: 22 -- 15th ranked class
  • 2019: 25 -- 5th ranked class
  • Total / Avg: 98 signed -- 7.
