Texas not at Clippers' level, but most valuable college program

So, the Los Angeles Clippers are reportedly going to sell for $2 billion (man, what would an NFL team in L.A. be worth?), and that bit of knowledge led us to revisit the Wall Street Journal's annual "ranking" of college football's most valuable programs.

Texas again was the top dog in the latest rankings, which came out in January.

We look at the top 10 schools, with an extra thrown in: We look at the most "valuable" draft-eligible player (i.e., the guy who seems likely to be the earliest draft pick on the team, whenever he decides to turn pro).

Here are college football's top 20 most valuable programs, according to Forbes.

1. Texas

2. Notre Dame

3. Michigan

4. Ohio State

5. Florida

6. Oklahoma

7. Alabama

8. Georgia
