True, but there's a lot of other factors. For instance, the proximity of the state of Arkansas to Texas. More Texas players (who are the best) will go to Arkansas over UGA.
You can argue that more Florida players will go to UGA, which is true, but Texas has 7 million more people in the state than Florida does.
Only two programs come to mind, with the same limitations as Arkansas, that have achieved a lot in the history of college football; Oklahoma and Nebraska.

That's a good point, how the hell did Nebraska used to be so good? There's only 2.5 million people in the entire state, and the states surrounding NE are even smaller. You can attribute some of their success to being one of the first teams to emphasize strength training/weight lifting but obviously that doesn't account for all of it. I have no idea.
