Colleges with the Most Major Leaguers

According to Baseball-Reference.com:

1. 100 Southern Cal
2. 95 Texas
3. 88 Arizona State
4. 77 Holy Cross (say what?!)
5. 72 Michigan
6. 69 Illinois
7. 67 Notre Dame
8. 63 UCLA
9. 60 Arizona
10. 58 LSU
11. 57 Alabama
11. 57 Oklahoma
13. 56 Fordham (again, say what?!)
14. 55 Florida State
15. 53 Penn (Ivy League!)

I'm guessing that most of the guys from Holy Cross, Fordham and Penn are from an earlier era...

While the top 3 are from warm weather sunbelt states where the college baseball season is longer, the next 4 (numbers 4-7) are not.
