You are confusing the 25 signee limit w/ the 85 scholly limit, dipshit. You aren't accounting for attrition from Bama's program.
To give you an example that's close to home, UTx has signed the following:
2011 - 22
2012 - 28
2013 - 15
2014 - 23
which equals 88. Which, you may notice, is more than 85. Every school does this.
The 85 scholly limit doesn't matter on signing day because the recruits aren't actually on scholarship until the fall when school starts. You just have to make sure your total is at 85 when the classes begin. That happens when players are lost over the summer due to attrition, such as transferring to get more playing time (such as when Joeckel transferred to TCU) or transferring because your current coach is an incompetent (such as when Gilbert transferred to SMU). Also, kids get placed on medical schollies, fail out, etc.
If you actually think that any team, SEC or otherwise, has ever carried more than 85 scholarship players at any time, you have no idea what you're talking about.
