I don't think they are looking at this correctly.

Stanford pushed 5 out of 6 five-stars (83%) to the NFL.  Wow 83 percent!

Alabama on the other hand "only" sent 68 percent of their five-stars to the NFL.  But they sent 30 five-stars to the NFL and they had 44 5-stars during the same period.  Thirty is significantly more than 5 over any time frame.  It is the raw number that is far more important than percentage.

Let's aim for sending 1 out of 1?  100 percent!

No, the outliers are Bama, UGA, Ohio State, FSU, etc. by the sheer numbers of high-level college and NFL talent they have.

I suppose it is comforting that Stanford was like Miami, Penn State, and the like.  For awhile until it all fell off a cliff.
