What sport? D-1 basketball, football, both? You can search by school/sport/state here: http://web1.ncaa.org/web_files/newmedia/public/rates/

I would also but it appears it's Notre Dame according to this recent press release by the USNA.

Highest Graduation Rates (All Sports/FBS Schools Only)
1. Notre Dame-99%
2. Duke-97%
Northwestern-97%
4. Navy-96%
Boston College-96%

They* did, however, only consider FBS schools.

They are different questions if you count schools without D1 football anyway.

since it's Flordia A&M followed by San Jose State and Oklahoma, do I get the money?

FYI the worst SEC school is 41st on the list (from the bottom). It's Tennessee.

the worst B10 school is 55th from the bottom (Michigan State).

You would if the SEC didn't fudge the numbers.
