Updated Class of 2013 team recruiting rankings

Thanks to an impressive five-day stretch in which it landed two Top 100 players, Alabama has surged to No. 1 in the 2013 Team Recruiting Rankings.

Last week, the Crimson Tide received commitments from quarterback Cooper Bateman and defensive end Jonathan Allen, to add to an impressive group that already featured Reuben Foster and O.J. Howard. Alabama now has verbal commitments from eight players in the Top 100, more than any team in the country.

Michigan, the national leader in verbal commitments, slides to No. 2.

Enjoying a big jump in the rankings is USC, which moves up to No. 6, on the strength of commitments from the nation's top running back Ty Isaac and Justin Davis, California's top running back.

1. Alabama
Number of verbal commitments: 14
Key recruit: Reuben Foster
Still on the board: Robert Nkemdiche
Next year's name to know: Bo Scarborough
2015 recruit to follow: Kerryon Johnson
For serious recruitniks only (2016): Jared Stewart
This class has risen in the past week, gaining commitments from Cooper Bateman and Jonathan Allen. If a few more recruits go in favor of the Crimson Tide, it could take this group from a No. 1 class to an all-time great haul.

2. Michigan
Number of verbal commitments: 18
Key recruit: Shane Morris
Still on the board: Laquon Treadwell
Next year's name to know: Malik McDowell
2015 recruit to follow: Jayru Campbell
For serious recruitniks only (2016): Terrance Davis
This is still an exceptionally deep class and one that Michigan fans are excited about. However, the Wolverines missed on E.J. Levenberry and Ty Isaac, two players who would have made this class nearly impossible to top.

3. Texas
Number of verbal commitments: 14
Key recruit: Tyrone Swoopes
Still on the board: Robbie Rhodes
Next year's name to know: Nick Harvey
2015 recruit to follow: Zach Rogers
For serious recruitniks only (2016): Kameron Walker
Texas did the heavy lifting for its recruiting class in February and March and augmented it with a commitment from defensive back Antwuan Davis. The Longhorns may look to add another interior defensive lineman, and a running back wouldn't hurt either.

4. Florida
Number of verbal commitments: 16
Key recruit: Ahmad Fulwood
Still on the board: Vernon Hargreaves III
Next year's name to know: Vincent Jackson
2015 recruit to follow: Jacques Patrick
For serious recruitniks only (2016): Jalin Buie
This is already an impressive class with plenty of room to grow. The Gators remain in the running for at least three other Top 100 recruits that Will Muschamp will look to add before February.

5. Georgia
Number of verbal commitments: 17
Key recruit: Derrick Henry
Still on the board: Montravius Adams
Next year's name to know: Raekwon McMillan
2015 recruit to follow: Arden Key
For serious recruitniks only (2016): Benjamin Lemay
In Brice Ramsey and Derrick Henry, Mark Richt has secured some major offensive weapons. In Tray Matthews, he's done the same on defense. Landing one or two more top recruits would make this class a lock for a Top 10 finish.
