    Another year, another great early signing period for the SEC.

    As of right now, 13 of the 14 schools in the Southeastern Conference (sorry Vanderbilt) are ranked inside the top 35 of the 247Sports recruiting rankings - six of them inside the top 15.

    It just goes to show that it truly does mean more in this league. Well, excluding postseason games not in the College Football Playoff. That's a conversation for another day.

    Here is where every SEC team's class ranks heading into 2023.
