Average NFL games only score 41 points because every team fields a GREAT defense. Big 12 games where 110 points are scored are ridiculous and not representative of balanced college football teams that feed the NFL Draft with both offensive and defensive players. That's why the Big 12 gets and deserves no respect defensively or come Play Off Time.

Alabama's Defensive line alone will send 8 players to the NFL. 2 are already rated First Round picks and 2 more are trending 2nd round. Oline, running backs, and receivers will send another 4 or 5 players to the NFL. A Big 12 team is lucky to have 1 or 2 players drafted - virtually all offensive players. Great Defensive players don't go to the the Big 12 because they aren't coached well there, or valued there. Also, great defensive coachs avoid the Big 12. They know the conference devalues defense over offense and to get to the NFL you need qualify defensive coaches.
