What is the college football rankings for 2023?

There is an entire summer and then actual football season to go before the early signing period for the 2023 college football recruiting cycle opens but the foundations for each class nationwide have long been being put down.

Traditional powers Notre Dame and USC are thriving after both hiring new head coaches this past off-season while plenty of the SEC is understandably in the top-10 as well – whether it’s recent national champions like Georgia or Alabama, or a power who is trying to return to glory like Tennessee.

Every couple of weeks we’ll go through and update these rankings of the top 25 college football recruiting classes of the 2023 cycle based off the On3 consensus rankings.
