RecruitingNation has summoned its writers from around the country to compile a list of the top 10 battles for elite football recruits leading up to February's signing day. We'll update our rankings periodically to reflect a change in a player's status (i.e., new offers, trimmed-down list or a positive/negative official visit).
Our writers have debated the list for weeks, but we value your input as well. Voice your opinion on Twitter (@RecruitingESPN) using#BlueChipBattles or vote for which player should hold the No. 1 spot on Facebook.

Offensive tackle Sean Harlow (San Clemente, Calif./San Clemente) announced his verbal commitment to Washington over the summer, but the three-star lineman said he would keep his options open with official visits this fall. Over the weekend, Harlow visited the Wisconsin Badgers, a program noted for producing impressive offensive linemen.
"It was my first time out there and I didn't know what to expect going in," Harlow said. "It was a really good trip for my first official visit. ... It was a great experience, the coaches were really good, all the athletes seem like they get together pretty well. The whole experience was fun."
Harlow said he enjoyed the atmosphere and noted that the fans were into the game even with the early start time.

It was a tough Friday night for offensive tackle Sean Harlow (San Clemente, Calif./San Clemente) as his Tritons' were beaten 31-3 by Huntington Beach (Calif.) Edison. Adding injury to insult, Harlow said he tweaked his ankle during the first quarter, though he played through it and performed well. He said there was no question that he would be able to shake it off and get back on the field next week.
Harlow was much more upbeat in discussing the victory Washington registered over Stanford the previous night. The Huskies verbal commitment said it was nice to bounce back from a tough loss to LSU.
"It was a great game," Harlow said. "It's good to come back against a ranked opponent."

Offensive tackle Sean Harlow (San Clemente, Calif./San Clemente) did plenty of research this summer, as the 6-foot-5, 260-pound lineman took unofficial visits to several schools, including Nebraska, California, Oregon State and Oregon. But in the end, it was his final visit -- to Washington this past weekend -- that made his decision an easy one.
"I'm going to be a Dawg," Harlow said. "It just felt right. I slept on it after getting back from the visit and had time to really evaluate things. I feel like Washington is the place for me."
The three-star tackle held offers from some Pac-12 and national heavyweights, including Boise State, Oregon and Wisconsin. But head coach Steve Sarkisian and his Huskies staff closed strong.
