Most NFL Pro Bowlers by school:
LSU 5
Georgia 5
USC 4
Wisconsin 4
Pitt 4
...
Bama has 1, one less than Coastal Carolina, 2 less than Kansas.
Wrong.
I also find it mildly hilarious that all these LSU Pro-Bowl chest beating posts were strangely absent around this time last year when Bama led the SEC with players selected to the Pro-Bowl. How convenient.

SEC, Georgia, LSU most represented on 2015 NFL Pro Bowl rosters

The SEC has led the way in recent years with players selected in the NFL Draft, so it should come as no surprise to see the league leading the way in Pro Bowl selections as well.
With 19 players named to the NFL's Pro Bowl rosters on Tuesday, the SEC leads all other college football conferences in number of former players named to the 2015 Pro Bowl. The Pac-12 (14), ACC (12) and Big Ten (11) all have double-digit representations on the initial Pro Bowl rosters while the Big 12, at somewhat of a disadvantage based on conference size, finished last among the Power Five leagues with nine Pro Bowlers.
But there is even competition within in the SEC, where LSU and Georgia tied for the most Pro Bowl selections among all schools with five each.
LSU: Tyrann Mathieu, Patrick Peterson, Odell Beckham Jr., Trai Turner and Andrew Whitworth
Georgia: Todd Gurley, A.J. Green, Thomas Davis, Justin Houston and Geno Atkins.
Check out the full school-by-school breakdown:
Five: Georgia, LSU
Four: Pitt, USC, Wisconsin
Three: Oklahoma
Two: Cal, Central Michigan, Coastal Carolina, Florida, Kansas, Kansas State, Miami (FL), Michigan, Notre Dame, Penn State, Stanford, Texas, A&M, UCF, Washington
One: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Auburn, Boise State, Boston College, Buffalo, BYU, Cincinnati, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Idaho, Iowa, Memphis, Miami (OH), Mississippi State, Nebraska, Oklahoma State, Oregon, Oregon State, Presbyterian, Purdue, Southern Miss, Syracuse, Temple, Texas, Texas A&M , Troy, Tennessee, UCLA, Utah State, Virginia Tech, West Alabama
