Per Blair Angulo of 247Sports, the Trojans have secured the No. 1 recruiting class in 2026 after getting wide receiver Kayden Dixon-Wyatt to flip his commitment from Ohio State. Angulo noted this marks the first time since 2008 that a non-SEC program will have the top-ranked recruiting class.

Ranked No. 9, Alabama faces No. 3 Georgia in a massive SEC Championship showdown, aiming to secure a playoff spot and prove their championship mettle.
