We’ve given you periodic updates on ACC recruiting rankings of the Class of 2010, courtesy of Scout.com. Here’s a quick check of where SEC schools stand—and I know there’s plenty of interest in college football’s best league, because I hear from its supporters all the time.
While
Oklahoma, Texas and
Penn State (good for Joe Pa) hold the top three spots, the SEC claims Nos. 4 through 8, giving it—duh—five of the top eight classes so far. The schools are
LSU, Alabama, Georgia, Florida and
Tennessee, or almost half of the 12-team league.
No ACC team is currently among the Top 15, with
Miami highest at No. 16.
And where is the rest of the SEC?
Auburn’s class is 24
th, followed by surprising
Vanderbilt—normally a league cupcake—at 26, and
South Carolina at 29. Then come
Arkansas (48),
Mississippi St. (50),
Ole Miss (56) and
Kentucky (61).
Every school in the league could finish with a top 50 class if things break right.
Scout ranks the SEC as the No.1 league by a wide margin, followed by the Big 12, Big Ten and Pac-10. The ACC is fifth. More telling, perhaps, is that the SEC has already landed 19 of Scout’s top 100 prospects. The ACC has four.

I cant wait to see where Lattimore, the RB out of Duncan, chooses to play. It will be a major get for any team.
Huge in particular for North or South Carolina, both of whom could really use a bigtime RB in trying to take the next step...
You do have to have the best players to be the best, but how much can you rely rated classes? Cincinnati, # 4 AP and undefeated, has not had a class in the top 75 in years. Their best class was last year, with one 4 star recruit. I think you could use Ole Roy's philosophy, "First character, and then speed.", and not go too far afield.
It would be great to get Marcus Lattimore and Sharrif Floyd at UNC.
Stan, what do you think the chances are for UNC getting Marcus Lattimore and/or Shariff Floyd?
