I could do the same exercise over the past 15 years if you wish. The fact remains that such a small percentage of the total number of players drafted are from LSU that any one team out of 32 will be statistically insignificant.

Besides, what makes LSU players so desirable anymore so than players from Ohio State, Michigan, Iowa, Oregon, USC, Clemson, Miami, etc? The average number of LSU players drafted by any team over the past 15 years would still be around three.

You need to take off your purple and gold homer glasses.

You asked for an example to show when you were wrong, and you provided it...

I'm sure in your zeal you thought you had something, must be deflating to have based all those stats on incorrect parameters...

And in so far as LSU, I'm an SEC first - I favor the strongest team in the conference that year, so I can't claim to be a LSU diehard homer...

So your assumption is wrong as well...
