was ranked #35 by 247 and #44 by On3. Houston wasn't ranked in the top-50 by either site.
The highest ranked TP class to make the Elite-8 was Alabama's, ranked #7 by 247 but only #20 by On3.
247 also had Tennessee (#14), Texas Tech (#20), and Duke (#22), but no Auburn or Michigan State.
On3 had Texas Tech (#7), Tennessee (#27), and Auburn (#49) but no Duke or MSU.
