I wish he'd have went into the methodology more but I don't doubt that the U is high. They were producing guys like mad for a while and the time frame for analysis was stated as being over the last 15 years.

Yeah they have a stellar number of alums playing in the league. And for sure, Florida has a lot of busts in the NFL. I don't know what scale they're grading on because I wouldn't think FSU produced a high number of busts either (Ponder and Manuel, exempt).

And I didn't know that so many of Alabama's NFL pros were on par with draft position, but that's probably just bias from being on the Rant so long.

I think Bama's busts have been more recent and that's why the reputation is there but over the longer period of 15 yrs. it evens out. FSU is an odd one. I didn't expect to find them on the list.
