The biggest change in the rankings comes in the national top five.
After months and months of debate ? especially from the Ohio State fans ? about where Mike Adams of Dublin (Ohio) Coffman falls into the national scene, he proved in the Army game that those local observers in the Midwest were right.
He's special.
Adams was one of the most dominating offensive line prospects to ever play in the game, and his performances in the game and in practice were the talk of the camp. The 6-foot-7, 308-pound offensive tackle not only was one of the most physically impressive players this season, he backed it up with his play.
"I first saw him on senior tape, and thought there was no doubt at all he's something special," Rivals.com recruiting analyst Barry Every said. "I know one of my co-workers has been singing his praises all year long, but to see what he did in the Army game totally validated his status as one of the nation's best players, period.
"He's a franchise left tackle that should be a future first-round draft pick someday."
Rivals.com national analyst Mike Farrell agrees.
"He has amazing size, quick feet and simply dominated down in San Antonio," Farrell said. "Seeing him in person was definitely believing. He definitely deserved to move up that high in the rankings."
