Mega guide to our college football signing day coverage

Signing day, when the decisions of 17-year-old boys can make grown men cry or jump for joy.

No matter your opinion of the hype surrounding the day football recruits can officially sign a letter of intent with a school, one truth is undeniable: It gives us another reason to talk about college football.

In Ann Arbor (and Ypsilanti, too), that talk was good. One of the few places it was better, it seems, was in Columbus, Ohio, where Urban Meyer and Ohio State put together a top-5 class.

Here is a roundup of our coverage from Wednesday:
