Here's a quick look at which states have the most qualifiers. Naturally there are some factors in analyzing these stats (per capita, how many DI schools in each state, how many qualifiers make AA, etc.)
PA - 52
OH - 33
NJ - 24
NY - 23
CA - 17
IL - 17
MI - 16
IA - 14
MO - 13
MN - 10
CO - 10
and way down the list is OK - 4
I'm surprised that MO and CO have so many - they're not considered strong wrestling states - and OK has so few.
