re: The SEC is criminally underrepresented in the College Football Hall of Fame

A result of biased Yankee opinions and voting back in the day. (See CFB final polls of '66.)

Yes...see those polls.

A result of playing "white football" for many many decades.

You will see an influx of SEC players from the 80's and 90's and 2000's elected to the CFB HOF soon...

But you killed yourselves in the late 50's and 60's/early 70's after everyone else was fully integrated...during that last hold-out country-club football.

And only Army stands-out as being an anomaly in the Top 5 - given the full history of the game...

The rest of the Top 5 make absolute sense in the 100 year history, # of All-Americans and Heismans...Notre Dame, USC, Michigan and Ohio State.

Notre Dame has the most All-Americans in history followed by USC and Ohio State.

And it's not just ancient history...

The most All-Americans by school since 1965-present...

1. USC
2. Oklahoma
3. Ohio State
4. Notre Dame
5. Nebraska
6. Texas
7. Michigan
8. Alabama
9. Miami
10. Florida State

So it's not like the SEC is dominating the Top 10.
