The best college football recruiting class by conference: Big Ten

Amid conference realignment that is changing college football, we decided to rank the top 10 recruiting classes from 2010 to 2019 for each Power 5 conference.

We recently evaluated our recruiting class rankings, considering how player rankings translated into actual production and how well each class did in the win column over the course of four years.

Over the past couple of weeks, we have broken down the Big 12, the Pac-12, the ACC and the SEC. This time, we go through the Big Ten.

In this 10-year span, Ohio State signed four top-five classes, reached the College Football Playoff four times and won a national title in 2014.
