Updated Class of 2013 team recruiting rankings

6. USC
Number of verbal commitments: 7
Key recruit: Max Browne
Still on the board: Su'a Cravens
Next year's name to know: Todd Kelly
2015 recruit to follow: Iman Marshall
For serious recruitniks only (2016): Tre Polamalu
There's not much to say about this class other than that it's incredibly talented. It boasts the nation's top quarterback, two of its top running backs and one of the nation's top defensive linemen. It will likely finish even better.

7. Ohio State
Number of verbal commitments: 11
Key recruit: Jalin Marshall
Still on the board: Jaylon Smith
Next year's name to know: Jimmy Byrne
2015 recruit to follow: Devin Williams
For serious recruitniks only (2016): Jaylen Daniels
J.T. Barrett and Ezekiel Elliott are two top players at their respective positions and will fit well in Urban Meyer's offense. The defensive line and defensive secondary are well-stocked. However, with the decommitment of Alex Anzalone, the Buckeyes could use another linebacker.

8. Texas A&M
Number of verbal commitments: 15
Key recruit: Derrick Griffin
Still on the board: Justin Manning
Next year's name to know: Hoza Scott
2015 recruit to follow: Larry Pryor
For serious recruitniks only (2016): Ben St. Pierre
This class has the athletes on offense to compete in the SEC. The bigger need is on the defensive side of the ball, where landing Manning would be an enormous addition to a group that features Isaiah Golden and Kerrick Huggins. Scott, a 2014 recruit, would also help the transition to the SEC.

9. Oklahoma
Number of verbal commitments: 7
Key recruit: Cody Thomas
Still on the board: RaShaad Samples
Next year's name to know: Justice Hansen
2015 recruit to follow: Austin Cantrell
For serious recruitniks only (2016): Cole Parkinson
It may have missed on Max Browne, but Oklahoma landed a good one in quarterback Thomas. He's joined by Keith Ford and Greg Bryant, two of the country's top running backs.

10. Notre Dame
Number of verbal commitments: 12
Key recruit: Steven Elmer
Still on the board: Alex Anzalone
Next year's name to know: Jay Hayes
2015 recruit to follow: Reno Rosene
For serious recruitniks only (2016): Erik Swenson
Deep in offensive linemen, the Irish may close with an even stronger group of defensive linemen if they can close with some combination of Jordan Sherit, Isaac Rochell and/or Tashawn Bower.
