Sure...NFL is a guaranteed haven of geniuses. Plus, did ya forget that the SEC has 12 teams, the Big 10 has 11, the PAC 10 only has...oh well, now you get it...sure adds about 100 extra players per conference to put in the draft compared to the PAC 10...don't ya think Timmy?
Yes, I did account for the fact that different conferences have different numbers of colleges. If I were to rank them by total number of players, rather than average per college, the list for the start of the 2008 NCAA football season would look like this:
Rank...Conference....NFL Players
1......SEC........373
2......ACC........333
3......Big Ten....317
4......Pac-10.....273
5......Big 12.....246
6......Big East...146
Or, only counting players who played in the NFL in the 2007 season, the list would look like this:
Rank...Conference...NFL Players
1......SEC..........300
2......ACC..........276
3......Big Ten......269
4......Pac-10.......209
5......Big 12.......202
6......Big East.....101
You can say what you want about the NFL, but they're the best at what they do. By the way, these are not NFL draftee numbers. These are NFL player numbers, which accounts for the fact that some NFL draftees don't make it in the NFL, and some non-NFL draftees do.

Oh c'mon man, wasn't insulting you just playing off your handle. It's Gameday just having fun...interesting post...but ranking them by total number of players rather than conference average doesn't negate the fact that if a conference has more teams they are going to put more players in the draft because that conference has more players and therefore is more likely to have more players in the NFL. I am curious about which conference has the most Probowlers but I doubt if there are stats for that.
