College football's best 2020 recruiting classes before early signing period

Here's an early look at the best 2020 recruiting classes.

Officially, National Signing Day isn’t until February, but college football’s early signing period is next week. Several top recruits are expected to sign their letters of intent between December 18 and 20, as this period has basically become the unofficial signing days.

Looking at the number of players committed, the teams with the best early 2020 recruiting classes are, unsurprisingly, also among the best in the country in 2019. This year’s four College Football Playoff teams — LSU, Ohio State, Clemson and Oklahoma — are all among the top-10 in this early look, but none of them are No. 1.

So here are the teams with the top-20 recruiting classes for 2020 ahead of the early signing period, according to 247Sports’ composite rankings as of Saturday, December 14.
