Top 25 in APR

College Football's Top 25, Ranked by Academics

Interesting to note the number of teams by conference:

AAC - 3
ACC - 3
B10 - 5
B12 - 4
PAC - 4
SEC - 5

EDIT - This is not pure APR, but a ranking that accounts for players leaving early. The ranking does not penalize teams for having players leave early provided the player is in good academic standing when they leave.

I realize it's tough since you drank the dead mouse coke and all, but you missed a critical part of the article apparently

The biggest disappointments? The University of North Carolina, whose athletic department has been tainted by a far-reaching academic fraud scandal, finished at the bottom of New America’s academic rankings. The team’s most recent federal graduation rate — 31% — fell way below the 88% rate of UNC’s male students. USC, which finished second-to-last, showed a similar disparity (41% for football players, 90% for the students). “That’s just unacceptable,” says Barrett.

Pretty easy to have a good APR when only 31% of your players qualify.
