Good stuff, I wouldn't have thought LSU was #1. I probably would've guessed #1-Miami, #2-Southern Cal, #3-Ohio State.jmog;461373 wrote: For those interested, in 2010, here is the top 10 college teams by number of players in the NFL.

So me that shows that the Pac-10, Big XII, Big Ten, and ACC are closer than people like to admit. The Pac-10 obviously benefits from having Southern Cal, a recruiting juggernaut, in the conference with a reduced divisor of ten.

The numbers I provided above with respect to the NFL, are not players drafted over any period of time, they are players, in the upcoming 2010 season, that are on current rosters of NFL teams.FatHobbit;461420 wrote:Personally I think *'s and even nfl draft picks are over rated. There have been college teams with several NFL draft picks that have sucked and a pretty decent chunk of draft picks never pan out either. (not to mention late round picks or undrafted players who make it.) The *'s are always a crap shoot IMHO. When they don't pan out the media likes to blame the coaches, but it was the recruiting publications who assigned the *'s. Maybe the recruiting publications aren't that good at identifying talent?
I get that this was an opportunity to slam ND, but honestly do you really have to look any farther than their win-loss record the last few years?
I wonder if coaches pay any attention to a players * ranking. Do you think Tressel actually uses the recruiting rankings or does OSU send scouts to watch kids play. (I think they send scouts, but maybe he uses the recruiting publications to decide who to scout.) My guess is the only reason there is big $ in player rankings is because people buy the magazines and they sell adds.thedynasty1998;461463 wrote:To comment on the star system, it's in place for a reason, and there is big money involved in player rankings for a reason.

Instead of incoming talent, I figured the number of players from each conference in the NFL would be a better indicator of the quality of the teams/conferences.
I went team by team of the 6 major BCS conferences, counted up their # of players in the NFL, and averaged it out over each conference.
Here's what I came up with, the number next to the conference is the number of total players in the NFL from that conference divided by the number of teams from that conference.
SEC 32.2
B10 30.3
ACC 28.3
P10 27.3
B12 23.3
BE 20.5

I'm sure as the NFL teams cut back to the 53 man rosters, some of the numbers I listed will drop slightly.
It is interesting to look at which teams put the most players in the NFL or who gets the highest draft picks. (or the best high school recruits.) It gives us something to talk about until football starts but all I really care about is how they do on Saturdays this fall.
haha You're a joke! Just look at the punctuation you added at the end.vball10set;461399 wrote:(btw,I fixed your sentence above)

sj,I've got an even better idea-why don't we stick to talking about football,and we can discuss grammar and anything else non-football related on another board--deal??
