Seventy-one large ten players selected included including 14 of State OhioNational numbers, which are tied to the second most.

He headed for two big dogs, the ACC had 42 types, and then large 12 with only 31. Miami led all ACC programs with seven selections and Colorado, Iowa State, Arizona and Oklahoma State They all had four choices for running the last place for a big 12.
