This is a good article that goes over Bud Elliot’s version of the Blue Chip Ratio. I believe Elliot is the guy who really made the idea popular.
Elliot’s ratio removes transfers and walk ons from the numerator and denominator since these guys rarely affect teams in the same manner recruited guys do. Obviously, this is starting to change, especially with QB’s, but it’s still a valid adjustment.
With these adjustments, the following increases:
- Florida to 53% (above that coveted 50% threshold)
- LSU to 64%
- Georgia to 79%
- Auburn to 58%
Alabama actually decreases to 80%. Or maybe it was more of a rounding difference. I don’t know.
Either way, it’s an interesting metric to say the least.

Yea but he also counts signees who don't get in school and also doesn't update players who quit or transfer out of the program.

I had Florida at 52% in january, but with 6 4* Freshman leaving from their 2018 class, and several transfers leaving, they dropped to 45%.
