You're not reading the chart correctly.

Uga has 93 kids from GA? I cant be reading this right


You read it correctly, UGA is saturated with GA players. I doubt that trend will continue with Kirby down the road, but it certainly exists right now.

Including walkons. Alabama has 43 players listed from the state of Alabama. But half of those are walkons.

92 total players listed from the top ten states among the four playoff teams. So some walkons are listed and others are not. Roster size is somewhere near 125.

And people people try to debate whether the sec is the best conference in football


You realize two of the teams in the playoff are in the SEC and the other is from South Carolina. That's going to skew the recruiting to the southeast.

Alabama recruits more nationally than Oklahoma.


To be fair, he didn't compare OU to Alabama or anyone else. OU just recruits its state the least of all the other teams. I think that's more what he meant to say.

The data would be more interesting if it only included scholarship players
Or, at least limit it to the 105 man pre-season practice roster to narrow the data to scholarship, preferred walk-ons, and select true walk-ons with a chance to see the field.

Not sure what it is now, but I believe the SEC restrictions for game rosters to travel and/or dress was 95 for home team and 70 for visitors.

I'd just be interested to see how that adjustment would affect the %s.
