Thought some on this board would think this is interesting...the colleges were all superbowl participants attended. Sadly, no Cats this year and three illini.

Interesting stat is that after the traditional big 3 football states of California, Texas and Florida, Illinois was #4 with the number of players on the two Championship Teams edging out traditional powers like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Georgia......
Looks like there has been good supply of homegrown, in state talent...

Obviously Illinois is a great state for BB talent.

This year Illinois excelled. Indiana and Ohio State also have their years but this year it belonged to Illinois. Football is a different animal altogether.
