Just 36 days until game day.

The scorecard on Pac-10 football recruiting for 2010, suggests that Stanford is really running away with the sheer size of their class:
  1. Stanford, 23 recruits (4 - 4 stars / 15 - 3 stars / 2 - 2 stars / 2- unranked)
  2. USC, 12 recruits (7 - 4 stars / 4 - 3 stars / 1 - JC transfer)
  3. Washington, 13 recruits (3 - 4 stars / 8 - 3 stars / 1 - 2 stars / 1 - unranked)
  4. California, 9 recruits (6 - 4 - stars / 3 - 3 stars)
  5. ASU, 8 recruits (2 - 4 stars / 5 - 3 stars / 1 JC transfer)
  6. UCLA, 7 recruits (3 - 4 stars / 3 - 3 stars / 1 JC transfer)
  7. Oregon, 5 recruits (3 - 4 stars / 2 - 3 stars)
  8. Arizona, 7 recruits (5 - 3 stars / 2 - 2 stars / 1 - unranked)
  9. Washington State, 7 recruits (4 - 3 stars / 1 - 2 stars / 2 - unranked)
  10. Oregon State, 5 recruits (4 - 3 stars / 1 - 2 stars)
The Big-12 and SEC are beating everyone else by a huge margin. Florida, Alabama, LSU, Texas and Oklahoma are easily the top 5 schools right now. USC's recruiting appears to have been hurt badly by the changes at coaching (creating uncertainty) and the fears of what might result from the NCAA's investigation of the Reggie Bush affair.

It's going to be hard to beat those teams in the upcoming years, folks.
