im surprised bama isnt number one here. you could dress a turd up in houndstooth and a gump would buy it.
I'm surprised Florida, California, and Texas aren't 1, 2, 3. Huge populations compared to Alabama and Louisiana.
Uhhhh . . . that Alabama and LSU are top-4 as well but none of the California schools crack the top 10.
OK, now I understand, I though you were saying that those schools weren't and that surprised you, or that you thought they would be in a particular order. But yes you are right Cali not being in the top 10 is surprising.
If I am remembering correctly from a few years ago when this list was posted it was the same thing, and determined that since USC is a private institution they aren’t required to and choose not to divulge that information. It’s not that they aren’t up there it is that they just don’t tell anybody. I may be wrong, but that is what I remember.
