Best I've seen was the preseason all-american list for Allen, Season 30:

Holy crap. I'm guessing a pretty good offensive mid-major who played a ton of sims?
That, plus defending National Champs.
Maine's NT set up a major run for mid-majors in Allen, after season 29 (Maine over Weber St in the championship game); Utah lost the NT game in season 31, UNLV lost the NT game in season 32, Morris Brown lost the NT game in season 33, UNLV won the NT in season 34, and was followed as National Champs by Boston University, Cleveland State and Yale. Southern then won the NT in season 40.
Since then (seasons 41-68) the national champ came from either the ACC or Big-12, and the runner up came from those 2 conferences in all but 6 of those seasons.
