п»їCollege football recruiting: 2021 National Signing Day key announcement times, predictions, picks.
Everything you need to know as the Class of 2021 enters its final stretch.
National Signing Day is still the first Wednesday in February even if the event has become a shell of its former self. Over the last few years, since the onset of the early signing period in December, the traditional National Signing Day hasn't been the same.
It's certainly even more different in 2021 due to the pandemic, which altered the recruiting calendar significantly. National Signing Day is still important, however, even if the number of top players unsigned is fairly small. Of the 358 prospects rated four stars or better in the 247Sports Composite, only 30 remain unsigned.
There is the potential for chaos, though, as some prospects who are verbally committed could flip their commitments elsewhere. Unsigned college football recruits always bring the drama as they make one of the biggest decisions of their lives. Plus, there are plenty of team storylines to track, so here's a primer to get you through the busy day.
The Storylines.
How many players will teams actually sign? That's something we are watching as an industry. With a transfer exemption due to COVID-19 that will allow players to be immediately eligible along with a lot of uncertainty around recruits due to the lack of camps, combines and visits, many schools are electing to use more of their 25 new scholarship player limit on transfers.
"If it is a borderline recruit for us, we'd rather take a transfer who we know can cut it physically at the college level," said one staffer. Read more about the transfer situation here.
Will Alabama land the top-rated class of all-time? All the Crimson Tide have to do is to hold onto their current class and land this thing Wednesday. If they do, the Tide will have 325.46 points on the 247Sports Composite, eclipsing the mark set by the 2010 Florida Gators.
USC's bounceback class is also something to watch. A year after signing a class which was light on numbers and talent and finishing 64th in the 247Sports Composite team rankings, the Trojans retooled their staff and currently sit eighth with the chance to climb even higher.

Way too early bold predictions for 2021 college football.
When given the opportunity, Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher took full advantage of his time in front of the microphone after his one-loss Aggies missed out on a College Football Playoff berth last season. After all, his team was perfect outside of a road loss to American's top-ranked team in college football's most competitive league.
“The only way you’re going to find out (who is better) is to expand the playoff,” Fisher said as the selection committee's outside-looking-in non-qualifier. “Now, I’m a traditionalist and I never thought I would ever say that. I really didn’t. Because I love the bowl games. I think (the playoff) took away from the nostalgia of our game and what the Orange Bowl means, what the Sugar Bowl means, what the Fiesta Bowl means, what the Cotton Bowl means, what the Peach Bowl means, whatever they are.
All those games, I’m a true traditionalist in that. I just think today’s times and the changes we’ve made, I never thought it would come out of my mouth like this, but we do (need to expand). I think it matters to kids, matters to people, because there’s no easy way to judge this thing and get it as fair."
Looking ahead to the 2021 season, can the Aggies remain in the final four conversation?
Here's a look at eight predictions that could happen in 2021, but we won't be checking receipts in December just in case:
Texas A&M reaches CFB Playoff.

Last season felt like Texas A&M shattered the glass ceiling in terms of national relevance despite coming up one game short of a Playoff bid, which means a similar finish in 2021 should be enough to push Jimbo Fisher's team into the final four. Let's say they finish 11-1 with another loss to Alabama and the Crimson Tide go on to win the SEC Championship. That would leave Texas A&M vying for the No. 4 seed again, but this time with a couple more victories (barring schedule alterations). The Aggies received great news from several veterans this month who announced plans to return for another season in College Station. That group includes Leon O'Neal and Elijah Blades, two defenders that side of the football will count on for production.

Alabama's DeVonta Smith became the first wide receiver to win the Heisman since Michigan's Desmond Howard in 1991 this season, a notable break from the norm for the quarterback-dominated award. Keep an eye on two running backs who could have a say in the race coming down the stretch next fall and ironically, both are from the Big 12. Texas ballcarrier Bijan Robinson should flourish in Steve Sarkisian's offensive scheme with the Longhorns and Iowa State's Breece Hall will be the league's most important player. If the Cyclones get back to the conference title game, he'll be the reason.
UNC makes its second ACC title game appearance.
The Tar Heels have only won the Coastal Division once since the ACC Championship Game began in 2005 and nearly beat Clemson that night (2015). And North Carolina's 2021 squad might be the program's best since that memorable campaign with several notable starters returning, including quarterback Sam Howell. The dynamic signal caller has already eclipsed several program records and heading into his junior season, has a chance to go down as one of the ACC's all-time best with a memorable finish. This might be all Mack Brown gets from his former four-star since he'll be eligible for the 2022 NFL Draft after the season.
Oklahoma posts unbeaten regular season.

This may not appear bold initially, but the Sooners have actually never gotten through the regular season unscathed during Lincoln Riley's tenure despite three Playoff appearances. That changes in 2021 with production levels on offense that will rival some of the program's best. Heisman frontrunner Spencer Rattler will be better in Year 2 as starter with the game slowing down for him, something we saw happen during Oklahoma's long winning streak to end the 2020 campaign, and Oklahoma's depth at wideout and tight end — H-back in Norman — ranks among the nation's best. And potentially the unsung star on the other side of the football will be the return of sixth-year senior Caleb Kelly, who missed all of last season recovering from an ACL injury. Oklahoma is loaded and the Sooners' toughest game — Iowa State — comes at home.
Coastal returns to form as Group of 5's best team.
Because of the pandemic, the NCAA is granting a "free" season of eligibility for all interested seniors in 2021 and athletes at the small schools like the Chanticleers are taking full advantage. Many of the team's veteran starters have already told coach Jamey Chadwell they'll be back to try and post another 11-win campaign, including All-American defensive lineman C.J. Brewer. Linebacker Teddy Gallagher wrote earlier this month on Twitter he expects 20 of the team's 22 starters to return, part of the reason I slotted the Chanticleers higher in our 247Sports' way-too-early Top 25 for 2021 than any of my colleagues.

Knocked for consecutive miserable performances in Playoff losses to LSU and Ohio State, respectively, it's easy to project Clemson's defense entering the 2021 season with a bit of a reputation to repair. Nolan Turner's decision to skip the NFL Draft and return to school means the Tigers bring back all 11 starters next fall, the first time that's happened during this successful stretch under Dabo Swinney. Previously, the most first-teamers returning on that side of the football was eight during the 2018 and 2019 seasons. That's great news for the Tigers, who are the ACC favorite and should get back to another semifinal game — at the minimum.
Ohio State fails to win Big Ten title.

Ohio State has won four consecutive Big Ten championships, the last two with Justin Fields at quarterback, but that could change next season. Despite having the most talented team in the conference and the odds-on favorite to get back to the Playoff, I'm going to be bold here and take the field (at longshot odds) in the Big Ten. Two potentially concerning areas for the Buckeyes in 2021 is up front along the offensive line and at linebacker, where Ohio State will replace its three veteran starters. Projected QB1 CJ Stroud should put up sizable numbers with Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave back at wideout along with Jaxon Smith-Njigba, but all three positions at the guard and center spots are up for grabs and the Buckeyes no longer have Trey Sermon to bail them out, at times, in the running game. Who beats the Buckeyes in the Big Ten title game is anybody's guess, but a one or two-loss campaign would keep Ohio State out of the final four.

How will the Pac-12 garner enough respect nationally next season to convince the Playoff selection committee it is worthy of Playoff mention? Take a look at USC's schedule — the Trojans take on Notre Dame and BYU out of conference, two marquee games against what we expect will be nationally-ranked teams and a chance at quality wins. Get past a road trip to Arizona State during conference play and USC will be favored to win its other nine contests. With Ohio State projected out of the Playoff next season per these bold predictions, perhaps USC seizes that spot to halt the Pac-12's dry spell in the final four? Four of five starters are back along the offensive line, quarterback Kedon Slovis should be the West Coast's best player offensively and Isaiah Pola-Mao is an emerging star and fills the role of most important player on defense following the exit of Talanoa Hufanga.
