If you’ve read my work over the years, you already know I'm a numbers guy. I can’t get enough statistical data in my quest to more accurately predict who will win a football game. Often, my search leads to calculating the latest analytical data. Less frequently, it produces questions I feel the need to answer. For example, “I wonder which Texas high school produces the most players on non-FBS rosters,” I thought to myself early last week.
What I haven’t learned in my 47 years is when I should tell my brain to be quiet. Hence, that first thought turned into two weeks of mining and researching data from Texas non-FBS rosters for the 2024 season.
