In a recent ASK CFN, a reader basically asked that question and it sparked a ton of debate with as much response as the article has ever received.
Do you go with the teams that have the best skill players, or the ones that can field the best overall lineups? Which schools are shockingly average at cranking out current pro stars? It’s an interesting exercise.

A * is next to the names of the incoming rookies, and a ** is next to the names of the players coming back to school next year. Also to note, the idea is to find the best players for the lines and the secondaries; they might not always fit with four safeties or five tackles if needed.
