Ranking this year’s college football teams by percentage of blue-chip prospects on the roster

Talent wins championships.

There are many out there that praise the virtues of developing talent and building a cohesive team, showing resiliency, etc. And yeah, those things are true too, but generally speaking, the teams with the most talent win the most games, including of the championship variety.

It’s no coincidence that the teams that recruit consistently at a high, high level are the ones playing for national championships in college football. Alabama, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Georgia. Clemson, Notre Dame. Those teams all bring in some of the best talent, and are the teams that we see in the College Football Playoff more than others.

So, one might wonder then which teams have the most talent in college football for 2022. I mean, if you’re into speculating, it’s a good place to start, right?

Well, the good news is that 247Sports did the math for all of us and calculated the ratio of blue-chip talent on teams this fall. What are blue chip talents you ask? Simply put, they are four or five start recruiting talents that make their way onto good ‘ole State U’s roster.

As the universe would have it, it has actually been a pretty good indicator of which teams have the best shot to make the College Football Playoff and hoist the national title trophy.

And since you are here, we’re guessing you might be wondering where Ohio state ranks this fall when held under the light against other FBS schools. We can tell you that they stack up really well indeed. Here are the top fifteen blue-chip ratioed rosters for the 2022 college football season.

Read and salivate Buckeye fans.
