Updated Rivals Industry Team Recruiting Rankings one week away from National Signing Day

Just one week remains until National Signing Day on Dec. 3.

While there’s not much time left in the 2026 cycle, the rumor mill is churning. Flips and decommitments have been abundant as of late and that’s not expected to change across the next seven days.

We continue to see some significant shifts in the Rivals Industry Team Recruiting Rankings. USC still holds its spot atop the list with Georgia close behind, but a few other schools in the top 10 are seeing their stock rise.

The final player — and team rankings — won’t come until later this winter. But with seven days until ink hits paper for the majority of players in the 2026 class, here’s a primer on the top classes in the country:

1. USC — 93.615

35 total commits1 five-stars | 21 four-stars | 13 three-starsTop Commit: 5-star TE Mark Bowman, No. 23 NATL. (No. 2 TE)

USC now holds 35 pledges this cycle, second-most to only North Carolina. Bowman leads the way and is flanked by a host of other top-100 prospects in Elbert Hill, Luke Wafle, Boobie Feaster, Keenyi Pepe, Jaimeon Winfield, Simote Katoanga, Talanoa Ili and Brandon Lockhart. The next month or so will be tense as they look to hold onto this group, but they’re just a week away from their first No. 1 class since 2006.

2. Georgia — 93.420

31 total commits2 five-star | 21 four-stars | 8 three-starsTop Commit: Five-Star Plus+ QB Jared Curtis, No. 5 NATL. (No. 2 QB)

With how successful Kirby Smart has been at Georgia, it’s become the expectation that the Bulldogs will challenge for a No. 1 class every year. They were just edged out by Texas in 2025, but they’re right on the cusp this year behind the Trojans. Curtis, who has had a stellar senior season, is the centerpiece of the group. But UGA boasts 23 total blue-chippers — the most of any team in the country. And they might not be done just yet, as a few late flip targets have emerged.

3. Notre Dame — 93.217

27 total commits4 five-stars | 15 four-stars | 8 three-starsTop Commit: 5-star EDGE Rodney Dunham, No. 17 NATL. (No. 5 EDGE)

Notre Dame recruited well under Brian Kelly, and continued to do during Marcus Freeman’s first few years on the job. But the Fighting Irish were never truly able to get over the hump and sign an elite class. They’re in position to do exactly that with one week until pen hits paper. Despite not having any in-state commits, ND has four top-50 commits, including a quartet of five-stars. But the depth is what separates this group from previous ones — 16 of Notre Dame’s pledges are ranked in the top 250 nationally.

4. Oregon — 93.124

19 total commits5 five-stars | 11 four-stars | 3 four-starsTop Commit: 5-star OT Immanuel Iheanacho, No. 13 NATL. (No. 3 OT)

Dan Lanning and the Ducks suffered through some tough early losses on the trail this cycle, but he has proven multiple times this cycle why he’s one of the best closers in the business. Oregon now has the national lead with a whopping five five-stars — hailing from Maryland, Nevada, North Carolina, Texas and Alabama. The Ducks have the highest average rating per commitment in the cycle, giving them the pound-for-pound best group this cycle.

5. Ohio State — 92.927

27 total commits1 five-star | 16 four-stars | 10 three-starsTop Commit: 5-star WR Chris Henry Jr., No. 7 NATL. (No. 1 WR)

Even with a No. 1 ranking and a berth in the CFP all but locked up, this class wasn’t quite living up to the historical standards in Columbus. Henry is the lone five-star in the group, but five other top-100 prospects — DL Khary Wilder, CB Jay Timmons, OT Sam Greer, LB Cincere Johnson and S Blaine Bradford — help headline. Ryan Day and Co. have gotten hot on the trail down the stretch this fall, too.

6. Alabama — 92.691

22 total commits3 five-stars | 10 four-stars | 9 three-starsTop Commit: 5-star RB Ezavier Crowell, No. 18 NATL. (No. 2 RB)

The questions about Kalen DeBoer’s penchant for recruiting — and frankly for winning games — have been put to rest this season. The Tide, despite only having 22 commitments, boast one of the country’s best recruiting classes yet again. It is headlined by three five-star commits — Crowell, LB Xavier Griffin and S Jireh Edwards. An additional six top-100 prospects are also in the mix, too, including CB Jorden Edmonds and WR Cederian Morgan, both of whom are flirting with five-star status.

7. Miami — 92. 153

30 total commits1 five-stars | 19 four-stars | 10 three-starsTop Commit: 5-star OT Jackson Cantwell, No. 2 NATL. (No. 1 OT)

The Hurricanes have moved back into the top 10 of the team rankings after the latest Rivals300 update, and Cantwell still headlines as the lone five-star in the class. But he’s surrounded by 19 other blue-chippers and major rankings riser Somourian Wingo, who rivals clocks as the No. 22 player in the class. Mario Cristobal and his staff have eyes on a few more additions that could move them up the list even further.

8. Texas A&M — 92.124

26 total commits1 five-star | 20 four-stars | 5 three-starsTop Commit: 5-star CB Brandon Arrington, No. 29 NATL. (No. 2 CB)

The criticism of the Aggies under Jimbo Fisher was that the recruiting ability didn’t match the on-field performance. Times have changed under Mike Elko, as A&M is one of just a handful of undefeated teams remaining and has a first-round College Football Playoff bye in its sights. At the same time, they’ve loaded up one of the nation’s best classes in 2026. Their top four commits are top-100 players and they’ve landed a whopping 21 blue-chip pledges — one of the highest marks in the country.

9. Texas – 92.081

23 total commits3 five-stars | 10 four-stars | 10 four-starsTop Commit: QB Dia Bell, No. 8 NATL. (No. 3 QB)

Recruiting hasn’t been an issue for the Longhorns under Steve Sarkisian, as Texas is trying to lock in its fourth straight top-five class with one week to go until National Signing Day. Bell is the crown jewel of the group, but Sark and his staff also went into California and Georgia to land five-stars Richard Wesley and Tyler Atkinson, respectively. They’ve also made their presence felt in Florida, landing three of the state’s top 15 players in Bell, running back Derrek Cooper and defensive lineman James Johnson.

10. Tennessee – 92.067

23 total commits2 five-stars | 11 four-stars | 10 three-starsTop Commit: QB Faizon Brandon, No. 9 NATL. (No. 4 QB)

Flipmas came early this year, as Josh Heupel and Co. went on a spree of poaching other teams top commits. That includes five-star WR Tristen Keys (LSU), EDGE Hezekiah Harris (Auburn), and OT Kamari Blair (South Carolina), and they’re still working for more. Seven of their 23 commitments rank among the top-100 nationally, and they’re up to 13 blue-chippers in total.
