National Signing Day: Which Hat Will They Choose?

College football readies for one of their biggest day of the off season. National Signing Day.

It's the day where the top recruits in the country sit at a long folding table, presumably with their parents, in front of three or four hats representing their college choices and several microphones from local television and radio stations.

When the moment comes, they pick their school by putting on the hat of their choice to a loud applause from approve friends and family.

There are already several players from around the country that have already made their choices and have given their verbal commitments.

For the rest, it comes down to having the spotlight for those five or 10 minutes depending on how long the networks want to cover each event. There's no doubt that ESPN will have a lot of those decisions live and if you don't have access to watch television while you're at work, there are several big time internet services that you can check as each decision comes down.

If you're used to hanging out on my blog, go head over to National Football Authority as I'll do my best to keep you updated as each decision comes down and bring you my thoughts on each player, who they signed with, any shockers that might happen, the winners, the losers, and everything in between.

Here are a list of the top 15 players that are expected to make their decision during National Signing Day, the finalists they're choosing from, and where they're expected to commit.

One player that isn't on this list, Jadeveon Clowney, a player that is listed as the number one prospect in the country by Rivals.com, isn't expected to make his decision until February 14th.
