According to that logic, Northwestern shouldn't have 3 B10 Championships since 1990.

Do they have to give them back now???

+1 People don't want to draft losers. Mason had guys drafted because we had on NFL style running game.
 


Using the 2000 decade, the stats suggest that Minnesota, Northwestern, Iowa and Wisconsin have overachieved, and Michigan, Penn State, Michigan State and Illinois have underachieved. Ohio State, Purdue and Indiana are where they should be. Accurately rating recruits is near impossible, but putting players in the NFL seems a good indicator of how successful a college program is.

 1. OSU 73 even
 2. WI  46 +1
 3. MI  49 -1
 4. IA  39 +2
 5. PSU 44 -1
 6. PU  33 even
t7. MN  20 +2
t7. NW  16 +3
 9. MSU 31 -2
10. IL  22 -2
11. IN  10 even

or does having a successful college program indicate how many players they put into the NFL?

Do NFL-type prospects go to successful schools or do successful schools create NFL prospects?

I agree that it's a pretty decent indicator.

I believe the teams that over-achieved given this analysis are teams that play a certain style that may produce more draftable players at a certain position or set of positions. The referencing of Gopher RBs fits that category.
