Zorich, Grunhard, and Alm come to mind from '88
Agree that Chicago isn't more important than Florida, Texas, or California, but that is comparing a single metro area to three very large states. '88 had a fair amount of Pennsylvanians on the team as well, IIRC.
ND can definitely win without pulling in best of Chicago talent, but it definitely helps.
