Head coach Dan Mullen learned how to recruit from one of the best in the country in Urban Meyer, and he has put a plan into place since his arrival at Mississippi State. The Bulldogs' staff has done a great job of establishing strong relationships in-state and jumping on guys early in the process. So far those relationships are paying off in the 2015 class, and the Bulldogs have been able to grab some big in-state wins on the recruiting trail over Ole Miss which have gone the other way in the recent past. It helps their ranking that they have the most commitments of any other team in the SEC at 27; however, there is no doubt the Bulldogs are riding the biggest wave of momentum they have seen in a while on the recruiting front. - Rivals.com Midlands Recruiting Analyst Jason Howell

After their banner season last year the Blue Devils are really capitalizing on the recruiting trail. Coach Cutcliffe and his staff have recruited 19 players from nine different states from coast to coast and only one, a kicker, is from North Carolina. Tyler Petite and Ben Humphreys, two four-stars from California, headline Duke's 22nd ranked recruiting class - Friedman

Scandal after scandal seems to rock the University of North Carolina, but strangely enough, the quality of their recruiting classes seem unaffected. The Tar Heels finished at No. 24 in the team rankings in 2014 and they are currently No. 17. Rivals250 prospects Mason Veal, Juval Mollette and William Sweet are the top players committed to North Carolina so far but Larry Fedora has made sure to target the top players in the state. Two of the top eight are already committed to the Tar Heels, and there is a chance that the top three uncommitted players in the state (Shy Tuttle, Jalen Dalton and Bryce Love) choose to stay in state. - Friedman

In years past the Cavaliers relied heavily on the talent-rich Tidewater area for Virginia. Their highest rated commit, Rivals250 linebacker Jahvoni Simmons, hails from that area, but it is good to see Mike London and his staff widening their reach. Four-star linebacker C.J. Stalker is from Ohio and four-star defensive end Rasool Clemons is from South Carolina. Virginia already has 20 commitments in the 2015 class but they will have to add a few more highly rated prospects to stay in the top 25 of the team rankings. -Friedman

Being based in the city of Atlanta can be a blessing and a curse for the Yellow Jackets. On one hand, the area is loaded with talent. On the other, programs from all across the country work hard to raid the area for players. This year, Georgia Tech has done a great job of getting players close to home, as well as reaching out and nabbing talent from other areas. The class is highlighted by a pair of in-state commitments in high three-star offensive lineman Will Bryan and high three-star legacy linebacker commit Tyler Cooksey. Georgia Tech got in early on both players - especially Bryan - and haven't looked back since. While the class lacks four or five-star talents, it does have great depth in terms of numbers and positional value. Georgia Tech is still in the mix for several players and with a promising season on the field could end up with an excellent finish. - Wommack.

The Mountaineers currently sit just outside the top 25 of the team rankings and, while that is impressive based on their 4-8 campaign last year, there is a chance West Virginia could move up the team rankings. Rivals250 wide receiver Jovon Durante is West Virginia's highest rated recruit but, with only 17 commitments in the 2015 class, there is room for more highly rated prospects to join the fold. Dana Holgorsen and his staff will have their work cut out for them is they don't put together a winning season this fall. - Friedman.

Arizona is only a surprise because of its recent history in the recruiting rankings. Rich Rodriguez has always been a capable recruiter, so nobody should be that shocked that the Wildcats are making waves with talented prospects. On top of a coaching staff with a reputation, U of A also houses one of the hardest-working and personable on-campus recruiting coordinators there is in Matt Dudek, who doesn't get enough credit for the work he does behind the scenes - Rivals.com West/Midlands Analyst Rob Cassidy

Boston College, that hard-nosed team in the Northeast, is always very sneaky on the recruiting trail. They are currently holding down the 27th spot in the team rankings and have 16 three-star commitments, including San Diego standout Ray Smith. Coach Addazio and his staff have targeted a specific type of player but they will need to land some higher-rated players if they hope to maintain their current rank in the team rankings. -Friedman
