Now that FSU basketball has moved into the AP top-10, it’s a good time to start looking at whether the Seminoles fit the statistical profile of potential champions.
For now, we’ll look at those 10 teams, and once ACC play begins we’ll take a look at conference rosters. Blue chips are defined a consensus 4* or 5* recruit per 247Sports composite rankings. The ‘Mock Draft’ column lists the number of players currently appearing in the 2019 NBA Mock Draft at ESPN.

Blue Chips 2018-19

Rank Team Blue Chips 5* 4* NBA Mock
1 Kansas 12 2 10 3
2 Duke 8 5 3 3
3 Tennessee 2 0 2 1
4 Gonzaga 4 0 4 3
5 Michigan 7 0 7 1
6 Virginia 7 0 7 2
7 Nevada 3 1 2
8 Auburn 5 0 5
9 Michigan St 8 1 7
10 FSU 3 0 3
The nine teams not FSU average six blue chip players each.
 Tennessee and FSU are the clear outliers. 
The good news is that Florida State is in the nation’s top-10 despite having a statistical talent profile which is a bit underwhelming. The bad news is that there isn’t much precedent for such a roster to make the Final Four.

The NCAA site includes reported attendance by sport so naturally I got carried away with a little excel fun.

The no-ticket sports have been pretty steady with Softball trending up. Volleyball has a loyal contingent, the numbers for these sports seem to be eyeball estimates.

I sure wish Women's Basketball would gain fans! Baseball attendance is flat if they had more grandstand seats I think it could bump up some.

Men's Basketball is doing great! The students are a big swing factor so far this year they are reporting a 9,094 average over four games.

But, of course, this is reported attendance and not people in seats.

Football is on the slide. After the Spring Game I expected a new coach bump but that momentum dissipated to say the least.

Looking back the numbers sure shot up after the 2013 season everyone loves a winner.

I looked at cumulative attendance no surprise football is the Big Kahuna.
