Florida State, Alabama, Ohio State and LSU had many reasons to celebrate the strong recruiting classes they landed Wednesday on national signing day. If history is any indication, there's a decent chance they'll be playing in Raymond James Stadium for next season's national title game.

Teams that win titles land highly decorated classes. Here are the average recruiting rankings (from 247Sports' composite data) of the five classes that comprised those championship rosters:
2015 Alabama: 1
2014 Ohio State: 6.
