Texas and Georgia are battling for recruiting supremacy before duking it out for a Southeastern Conference title.

Alabama, which also appears to be headed to the playoffs, is right behind them.

The two Atlanta-bound and presumably playoff-bound SEC powers are leading the way in recruiting league-wide and nationally during the early signing period that started Wednesday. They’ll meet Saturday in the SEC championship game in Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
