If every team was comprised of only talent from their home state, who are the blue bloods of CFB? Who falls off the hardest?

Anyone in here that thinks Auburn and Alabama would fall is asinine. They are even more foolish if they think Georgia and LSU would rise above them. Historically, Alabama is one of the richest states in the country in terms of raw talent. Let’s not forget, Bo, Caddy, Julio Jones, etc are all from the Yellowhammer state. Not to mention the amount of money that Alabama as a state spends on football. I could see someone arguing that Ohio and Texas would rise to the top but thinking that Alabama would fall is just ludicrous.

Edit: After reviewing the OP, this post in general is just awful. Yes, there is enough talent in Texas to fuel many schools. This is also true in: Ohio, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, California, etc. The only states that this would readily effect are the ones with smaller populations or who don’t have a strong football following. Even if we all pretend that money is irrelevant, Texas and Ohio dwarf Georgia and Louisiana in terms of talent based on just about every measurable statistic.

Edit 2: New Jersey barely cracks the top 20 in talent just about every category that matters. At best they sit at 18 and Rutgers would absolutely suck ass in this scenario.
