College Football Playoff Winners, by Blue Chip Ratio
Blue Chip Ratio is a pretty simple stat devised by Bud Elliott, measuring what fraction of a team’s recruits are four and five-star recruits. His contention is that only teams with a Blue Chip Ratio exceeding 50% are capable of winning the College Football Playoff, and so far he hasn’t been proven wrong.
| Year | Winner | Blue Chip Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| 2018 | Alabama | 80% |
| 2017 | Clemson | 52% |
| 2016 | Alabama | 77% |
| 2015 | Ohio State | 68% |
These thirteen teams meet the 50% mark in 2018: Alabama, Ohio State, Florida State, LSU, Georgia, USC, Michigan, Auburn, Clemson, Texas, Oklahoma, Penn State, and Notre Dame.
