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.
I understand your concern about the number of teams per conference. That is why I originally ranked them by average per team within each conference. I feel that average per team is the best way to compare the conferences. There is information on Pro Bowlers per conference, but it would take more time to analyze than I am willing to commit. I suspect that the results would be similar though.

Some of those stats account for going back quite a few years given the length of an NFL player's career...however remembering the last few drafts it appears the ACC numbers are declining given the dearth of Miami and FSU players drafted the last couple of years compared to the players they used to churn out to the NFL.
