re: Explain why Bama players fizzle out in NFL, and LSU players do well.

Because Bama = NFL Bust U

I'm assuming you're talking about recently, under Saban. Since 2009, Bama has had 33 players drafted in the NFL while Tennessee has had 14...thus your equation above logically leads to the assumption that a team must actually get lots of players drafted into the NFL before they can be considered NFL Bust U...

If you're talkin' historically however, Bama has done quite well. Below is a list of the number of NFL Hall of Famers that played in the SEC, sorted by the colleges they attended:

Alabama 7
LSU 3
Arkansas 2
Florida 2
Georgia 2
Kentucky 2
Ole Miss 2
Missouri 2
Tennessee 2
Auburn 1
Texas A&M 1

While we've had our share of busts, overall I think Bama players have done fairly well...

NFL Bust U??? I think not...
