Not surprised that Nebraska made the list. Sure we haven't been good lately but we had the longest running steak of players drafted that didn't end until Mike Riley came on board. We used to put a bunch of players through.

I am however, surprised to not see Alabama, Ohio St, or Oklahoma.
 
Three Super Bowl MVPs for UGA.

Jake Scott
Terrell Davis
Hines Ward
 
UCLA is the surprising one to me. They are by far the worst program historically of those listed

Yeah, you would think that the last few years, that OU, Ohio St, and Bama would have put enough through to make the list. That's crazy.

Not really. Top talent coming out of college is drafted by the worst teams. The best teams are drafting 3 and 4 star guys that proved out.

Multiple appearances can distort the data. For instance, Tom Brady accounts for 10 of Michigans appearances

So does it distort the data for everyone who was on his team in NE and then Tampa? :headscratch:

If you give him sole credit for being there. However, 5 star recruits have a much higher chance of being drafted in the 1st round and also at a higher spot within the 1st round. Teams that go to the Super Bowl don't even have the chance to draft those Ayers. It would be an interesting study to take the surface data even deeper.

Not sure what that has to do with it. I was simply asking -- that if Brady skewed the data by getting to the SB 10 times. Did it skew it for every guy who was on his team? He had some teammates for 5, 6, 7 years. Wouldn't they skew the data too?

Sure, to a lesser degree. Brady is the outlier. And the most obvious example. I don't know if he had offers from OSU, OU or Alabama or if he was a highly rated recruit. With the number of schools is the field and a limited # of Super Bowls, any high # of appearances will skew the data.

Hell, Alabama QBs won the first three Super Bowl MVP awards. Bart Starr twice and Joe Namath.

If Brady had won it the other day, he'd have been the fourth Joe QB to win it. Joe Namath, Joe Montana, Joe Flacco.

Cooper Kupp wasn't the first Super Bowl MVP from what would be considered non FBS school. He is the 8th player from such. There were four in a row from schools like that.... XX - XXIII.

XII - Harvey Martin - East Texas State University (Co MVP with Randy White)
XX - Richard Dent - Tennessee State University
XXI - Phil Sims - Moorehead State University
XXII - Doug Williams - Grambling State University
XXIII - Jerry Rice - Mississippi Valley State University
XXXIV - Kurt Warner - Northern Iowa University
XLVII - Joe Flacco - University of Delaware
LVI - Cooper Kupp - Eastern Washington University
 
Would be more interested in number of players from each university to have appeared than total appearances, due to the multiple appearances distortion.

It would be interesting. It would also be interesting to know how many All-Pro by university, recruiting rating for both. Draft position for both, etc.
