NOTABLE DROPPER: Daniel Faalele, Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy (Down 9 spots)
COMMENTS: Penei Sewell and Oklahoma commit Brey Walker continue to knock on the five-star door as they look to join Jackson Carman and Cade Mays from the position in that territory, but they have been joined by Rasheed Walker and Scaife, a Miami commit, who get bumped up to a 6.0 Rivals Rating. Maryland commit Jaelyn Duncan also gets bumped up to four stars and now ranks in the top 25 for the position.

CENTER
NOTABLE RISER: Justin Dedich, Temecula (Calif.) Chaparral (Up 1 spot)

The position adds another four-star in Florida State commit Verdis Brown, who comes over from defensive tackle and lands at the No. 2 spot in this ranking. Dedich, a USC commit, rises to the top of this ranking after his strong summer.

STRONGSIDE DEFENSIVE END
NOTABLE RISER: Adam Plant, Las Vegas (Nev.) Bishop Gorman (Up 10 spots)

DEFENSIVE TACKLE
NOTABLE RISER: Tommy Togiai, Pocatello (Id.) Highland (Up 10 spots)
NOTABLE DROPPER: None
COMMENTS: For the second-straight cycle there are no defensive tackles who drop in the rankings, and the list does not see many changes overall. There is some shuffling of positions in the top five, with North Carolina native Rick Sandidge and St. Louis’ Michael Thompson swapping the Nos. 2 and 4 spots. Sandidge now sits just behind No. 1 Taron Vincent.

NOTABLE RISER: David Reese, Vero Beach, Fla. (Up 8 spots)
NOTABLE DROPPER: Nick Tarburton, Perkasie (Pa.) Pennridge Upper (Down 6 spots)
COMMENTS: The inside linebacker position now boasts a five-star prospect after Ohio State commit Teradja Mitchell earns that bump following an impressive summer. He was already No. 1 in this ranking, but there is a new No. 2 after Notre Dame commit Jack Lamb gets a bump of two spots. Reese, a Florida commit, comes from outside the top 10 to take over as the No. 4 ranked prospect at this position.

ATHLETE
NOTABLE RISER: Bryan Addison, Gardena (Calif.) Junipero Serra (Up 11 spots_
NOTABLE DROPPER: Justin Watkins, Clermont (Fla.) East Ridge (Down 5 spots)
COMMENTS: Former No. 1 Blue Smith’s move to wide receiver meant the top spot was up for grabs, and California native Devon Williams locked it down by earning his fifth star in this update. Watkins was the previous No. 2, so his drop opened up another spot. Oregon native Talanoa Hufanga slides in there after a ratings increase while Addison takes over at No. 3 after his bump.

KICKER
NOTABLE RISER: Evan McPherson, Fort Payne, Ala. (Debuts at No. 1)
NOTABLE DROPPER: None
COMMENTS: The first ranking of the kicker position sees Mississippi State commit Evan McPherson lead off the list. He is followed in the top five by Clemson commit BT Potter, Georgia commit Jake Camarda, Nebraska commit Barrett Pickering and Indiana commit Charles Campbell to round out the top five.
Of course the #1 Kicker in the country is from the state of Alabama and is committed to someone other than us.

Both KN & Tim Watts (Bama insider) put out afternoon Asa updates. Basically no one really knows what he's going to do. Watts has heard from source close to another coaching staff that Asa will pick Bama. KN says that his closest and most reliable source on Asa continues to say AU has a slight lead. Both admit that it could still go either way and that he has not contacted either staff. Watts thinks it will come down to whether or not Asa thinks he can play at Bama

When the tenth assistant is finally official, we better damn well hire a special teams coach.
Alabama's evaluations at kicker are spotty at best. Punter has been spot on though.

So there's still a possibility he chooses Alabama.

ESPN/ABC college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit is unveiling his annual "Herbie Award" winners on an ESPN special Wednesday night, but ahead of the show he revealed his picks for this season's college football playoff.
Herbstreit believes Alabama, Ohio State, USC and Florida State will make the four-team playoff, and he has the Buckeyes beating the Crimson Tide in the national championship game.
"Even though they are meeting in Week 1, I have both Alabama and Florida State in my College Football Playoff," Herbstreit said in a conference call on Wednesday afternoon.
Last season, Clemson defeated Alabama 35-31 to take home the national title. Clemson dominated Ohio State 31-0 and the Crimson Tide beat Washington 24-7 in their semifinal matchups.
Ohio State won the inaugural playoff after the 2014 season, defeating Alabama in the seminfinals and topping Oregon 42-20 for the title. The 2015 final four were Clemson, Alabama, Oklahoma and Michigan State, with Alabama beating Clemson 45-40 for the title.
If Herbstreit's picks for this season come to fruition, the Big 12 will be on the outside looking in at the playoff for the third time in four seasons.
