Apologies to those who read this before it went to Blog Heaven.

Ohio State defeated Alabama 42-35 in the Sugar Bowl. How have the Buckeyes fared against the Tide in recruiting since 2012? Over the next couple of weeks I will compare Ohio State's and Alabama's recruiting by position during the Urban Meyer era.

Between 2012-2015 Ohio State signed 11 wide receivers and Alabama signed 8 wide receivers. There are many great players listed among the 19 receivers the Buckeyes and Tide signed.
