Hall of Fame
So I've been doing a little project. I was curious what "major" D-1A programs had the most in-state players. The following is what I found.

Note - These are all Rivals numbers. I defined "major" D-1A as schools that had been ranked pre-season top ten at least once in the past decade.

School...............% of roster in-state

Alabama........................54%
Arizona.........................18%
Arizona State.................34%
Auburn..........................48%
Clemson........................43%
Colorado.......................36%
Florida..........................66%
Florida State..................65%
Georgia.........................64%
Gerogia Tech.................59%
Kansas State.................38%
Louisville.......................24%
Louisiana State...............55%
Miami (Fl)......................65%
Michigan........................50%
Missouri.........................57%
Nebraska.......................47%
Notre Dame.....................9%
Ohio State.....................66%
Oklahoma.......................22%
Oregon..........................14%
Penn State.....................42%
Pittsburgh......................63%
Tennessee.....................38%
Texas............................93%
Texas A & M...................91%
UCLA.............................84%
USC..............................78%
Virginia Tech...................64%
West Virginia...................17%
Wisconsin.......................44%

I don't know what this means, if it means anything. But I found it interesting.

If you go back and look at Mercer Buckeye's Thread starter again you will see Texas as 93%.

If you go back and look, you will see that he edited his post 5 minutes after Fungo/BK asked him about Texas. :wink2:
