Does success in college football equate to having more players drafted? The 2022 college football season was a prime example of the teams with the most NFL draft talent having better seasons.
All four teams that made the College Football Playoff ended up having at least six players drafted. The back-to-back national champion Georgia Bulldogs put on a show at the 2023 NFL draft after having a record-breaking 15 players selected in the 2022 NFL draft.
Alabama produced a bunch of NFL draft talent, like usual, but failed to make the playoffs.
