The College Football Landscape is ever-changing. Let’s take a look at the five teams facing the most pressure ahead of National Signing Day.

There is one trait that separates elite coaches from good coaches: Being able to respond in pressure situations.

If you are a College Football Coach, you are going to face pressure early and often throughout your career. Whether it be having to make a decision in the fourth quarter of a nationally televised game or having to take the field knowing that your job could be at stake, you will have to respond accordingly.

One of the unique skills a College Football coach must possess is the ability to recruit. If you look at the elite programs around the nation, all of them have found a way to get elite prospects on campus.

Sometimes, a single prospect can make the difference between a College Football Playoff contending team and a team that is barely bowl eligible. This leads to a lot of pressure between coaching staffs, especially a week before National Signing Day.

To be honest, Clemson football is under almost no pressure other than trying to sign a defensive back ahead of signing day, but sometimes it is good for us, as Tiger fans, to take a look around the nation and see some teams that are in a bind come National Signing Day.

Here are the five schools under the most pressure ahead of National Signing Day.
