We're just a week from National Signing Day and, as usual, there is plenty of drama with schools fighting for recruits. This week's Top 10 list: the biggest battles for top uncommitted recruits. NOTE: These are the top-ranked recruits from the 247 Top 100, and the list does not include players who are "committed" but still appear to be up for grabs, such as the nation's No. 2 recruit, DE Chris Jones, who has been committed to Mississippi State for months but just took a visit to Ole Miss last weekend.

Before we put the 2012 season to rest for good and start looking ahead to 2013, it’s always worthwhile to go back and see why some teams were successful and others weren’t.

Off the field, Mizzou's SEC-driven success has been far more noticeable. On Tuesday, school officials announced an $8.3 million gift from Don and Audrey Walsworth of Marceline to be used to improve and expand Memorial Stadium and also build a new clubhouse for the men's and women's golf teams at a private course in Columbia.

update on "swats" story:

“ua has been aware of this situation for some time, and we have monitored this company for several years. They have twice ignored cease and desist letters sent by our compliance office. We have maintained consistent education of our student-athletes regarding the substances in question and will continue to do so.
