When recruiting classes become official, it’s almost like the earliest form of preseason rankings. Undoubtedly, many of the teams that reeled in the top recruiting classes will be national contenders in the coming years, with many familiar names atop the rankings. Alabama’s top-ranked 2017 class led to two national championships, and Wednesday they landed the
