Think about how much has changed in college football in the last month.
Alabama lost twice and saw starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa go down with a season-ending hip injury. Joe Burrow cemented an SEC championship and a Heisman Trophy for LSU. A.J. Epenesa turned on his potential at Iowa that saw him rank as a top-10 player all season long.
It’s been a wild month since the last big board update, and the rankings below reflect that.
Part of the upheaval has been due to injury (Tua, Sage Surratt and others), but part is thanks to a quieter time of year that allows for more film study. As teams' regular seasons come to an end, things slow down, which gives us media evaluators time to make calls, get updated game film and spend time getting to know the top underclassmen and seniors in the group.
December also means players declaring for the upcoming NFL draft before the January 20 deadline. With this, juniors and redshirt sophomores will be added or removed from the list as they announce their intentions. For now, any player who hasn’t declared is ranked if they’re believed by school and scouting sources to be entering the draft. A more complete picture will be known next month.
How does the injury to Tua and the rise of Burrow since early November shake up the big board? Find out below.
