Really interesting map, if you click down to where it originally came from you can see where each school recruits.

Lookout!  Rutgers and Fresno State for the 2017 National Title game. 

Also, I know Miami has talent, but how they've stayed out of the Top 15 for so long is criminal.

Terrible use of color on the map. It's essentially a population map because counties aren't represented on a per capita basis.

Dickinson County, Kan., has 0.5 percent of eligible males playing football, which is much more impressive than the 0.1 percent in San Bernadino, Calif.

Of course San Bernadino has more over all players, but even Bama fans could have figure that out.

Cool idea, poorly done.

Except that there's a per capita button you can click

Who gives a eff about per capita?

I care about where the most mother rough ridin' recruits are.  You don't recruit a per capita player.
