this reminds me of the top ten

football factories of all time that NFL Network listed the other day. I could only remember the top 5 though.

1. USC
2. Miami (the “U”)
3. ND
4. Ohio St
5. Michigan

I believe it was ...

10. Tennessee
9. MAC Conference (yes, the entire conference together)
8. Syracuse
7. Penn State
6. Alabama

I may have a couple of those out of order but those are the teams.

I do find it hard to believe

that Florida State didn’t make that list. Should replace the MAC because that conference has only recently started to crank out good pro players.
