The annual Super Bowl game is not only the NFL’s moment to shine, but also another chance for college football programs to one-up each other as schools look to get bragging rights of a kind to see who can put the most players in football’s biggest and most prestigious moment.
For the third-straight year, that honor goes to Oklahoma, a traditional college football factory that has once again put the most talent on the field in the Super Bowl as the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles on Super Sunday.
And by joining the SEC this year, Oklahoma was also able to help boost the SEC’s already dominant numbers when it comes to what conferences produce the most Super Bowl players.
This year’s game produced some notable trivia, as well: Super Bowl LIX has one player on the field who didn’t play college football, as Eagles offensive lineman Jordan Mailata grew up in Australia, where he played rugby.
Here’s an overview of what college football programs and conferences produced the most talent in the Super Bowl between the Chiefs and Eagles.
