UM #5 in NFL Rosters by Alma Mater

Ok. Neg away. I don't know what happened, but in clicking around with the tags, I thought I was selecting a tag. Instead I apparently posted.
Title says it all?

Both of the other MGoBloggers who are Bills fans already know this, but Mark Gaughan is a really wonderful writer and analyst. In this otherwise noteworthy analysis (hint: open in Safari in reader mode if you don't have a subscription) of who comes from where, he mentioned the list goes like this:
- Alabama 53
- OSU 48
- LSU 41
- Florida 36
- UM 33
- PSU & UGA 32

Go Bills
September 16th, 2020 at 2:26 PM ^
this is the year!
where's the other bills fan we can have our meeting now

Surprised not to see Oklahoma up here
September 16th, 2020 at 12:59 PM ^
Oklahoma only plays one side of the ball.
September 16th, 2020 at 3:44 PM ^
Well, it ain't like Michigan's producing talent on the offensive side of the ball.
September 16th, 2020 at 1:05 PM ^
Oklahoma just behind with 31 but to Bo Harbaugh's point, only 7 from the defensive side of the ball.
September 16th, 2020 at 2:28 PM ^
That's very helpful, thanks! Where did you see that?
September 16th, 2020 at 1:12 PM ^
Yet somehow we cannot crack the top 5 in polls.
September 16th, 2020 at 1:55 PM ^
At least Florida has done less with more, by a little bit.
September 16th, 2020 at 12:38 PM ^
Edit this comment and add the link in it then. You're not completely dead.

And here I thought our hurdle to the playoffs was getting NFL level talent.
September 16th, 2020 at 12:54 PM ^
I mean... it is? 33 is a nice number, but still considerably smaller than 48 and 53. Puts us in a bag with Georgia and PSU, which - isn't that exactly the second group having a hard time getting over the hump?
September 16th, 2020 at 1:10 PM ^
It's QB play.
Give us a couple Tua, or Trevor Lawrence, or Haskins or Baker Mayfield or Tyler Murray types over the past decade and we have a few playoff teams.
September 16th, 2020 at 1:15 PM ^
Michigan has lot of lower round prospects compared to Alabama, OSU, Clemson, Oklahoma. That's a big difference between a solid team and elite team.
September 16th, 2020 at 3:21 PM ^
But it's not like we're only losing to OSU. You can pencil us in for at least 3 losses every year, two of those are to teams with less talent on paper.
September 16th, 2020 at 12:58 PM ^
Just curious, how far down the list is the highest Pac 12 team?
September 16th, 2020 at 2:27 PM ^
you know, he didn't release more than the top 6! I see Laser Wolf has Oklahoma with 31 so I'm not sure where he got it.
I'm guessing "Oregon" with "24".
September 16th, 2020 at 1:00 PM ^
thank you Brady Hoke and of course Jim
September 16th, 2020 at 1:15 PM ^
Nearly #1
September 16th, 2020 at 2:15 PM ^
A little surprise UM's 5th, though I see it'd easily be 7th or 8th.
