Early Rankings of Pac-12 Recruiting Classes for 2022
College football recruiting for the class of 2022 is still in its early stages, so we can’t give a lot of weight to the rankings at this point.
Recruiting rankings of Pac-12 schools in late June are based on the number of commits almost as much as the quality of those prospects. With only three commitments so far, Stanford almost has to be ranked last in the Pac-12 at the moment.
Nonetheless it is worthwhile to see which schools have made some headway early the recruiting process and which ones have not.
We looked at the rankings provided by 247Sports and Rivals, and they are similar regarding the Pac-12. The only disagreement was with Washington and Arizona State. One site had the Huskies one spot ahead of ASU in the conference rankings, and the other had the Sun Devils one slot ahead of Washington.
Nationally, the two sites agree on the top five, with Ohio State, Notre Dame, Florida State, LSU and Georgia holding down those spots, in that order. Alabama is No. 16 according to 247Sports Composite and No. 17 according to Rivals, and you know that will change.
