Best in the Big Ten.

Better than Southern Cal, Oklahoma and Auburn.

Not bad.

ESPN has updated its Class of 2010 Team Football Recruiting Rankings and although the Nittany Lions have slipped from No. 5 to No. 7 since the rankings were last released in August, it's clear Penn State has crafted a class to reckon with.

Considering the Nittany Lions are still in the mix for such highly-rated prospects as Khairi Fortt, Shariff Floyd, Marcus Lattimore, Storm Johnson and Kenny Stills, their chances of ultimately finishing among the nation's top five classes is still very much a real possibility.
