I think Colorado at 11 was the biggest surprise for me. That, and then Cal at 15.

Colorado.   I would never have guessed them on the list, let alone that high.

Miami at 2 Colorado at 11 both were powers long ago. Obviously are still getting plenty of talent but not equating to on field performance.

It would be interesting to see how this list would be compared to a list of schools with players in the NFL since the first Superbowl.  Would the list be very similar?  Or is there some luck to it that some teams just happened to have more of their players on Superbowl teams?  Maybe they played for the Patriots, Steelers, Cowboys, 49'ers, etc. back during those dynasties and just having players that were selected by or traded to Superbowl teams?
