The speculation of how good recruiting classes are is hit or miss at best, a fruitless exercise at worst. So how should a class be ranked? How many good prospects did a program get? How many stars? How many needs were filled and how did the program do to get the guys it was targeting? All that matters is how the players who come in develop, handle the pressure of college life, and perform on the field, no matter what they were ranked coming out of high school. However, for now, on paper, here's how well the teams seemed to do in the 2009 recruiting season.

1. Ohio State
The class is heavy on ... everything. Name the position and about 100 other teams would be ecstatic to do as well overall as Ohio State did in any one area other than quarterback (and Kenneth Guiton isn't a bad prospect). Running back? Jaamal Berry and FB Carlos Hyde are the stars of a good group. The receiving corps, led by Cris Carter's son, Duron, is special, the offensive tackles are all prototypes, the defensive tackles big and quick, the linebackers fast, and the defensive backs even faster. This class has it all.
