Michigan and Miami are also probably top ten. I'd guess Oregon, Washington, Georgia would be in there.

I'd guess Stanford also.

Da U has to be. Testaverde, Kosar, Kelly and of course Ken Dorsy!

I don't know, I was looking at a website that had all Pittsburgh QB's listed and it listed Namath. Maybe the site was not correct?

I wonder which conference CURRENTLY boasts the most passing yards (active players). The B1G has to be up there with Brady, Brees, Orton, Henne, Painter, etc. ACC too with Matt Ryan, Matt Schaub, Mike Vick, Matt Hasselbeck, etc ... I guess you can never count out the SEC (Peyton, Eli, Newton, etc).

Thinking about this one, and I'm just going off the obvious names/guys who have thrown a pass this year. Probably missing some backups that have some NFL yards.

B1G:
Brady 37,105
Brees 38,012
Orton 13,753
Henne 7,114
Painter 1,206
Collins 40,922
Kafka 107

I'm sure I'm missing some big names, but off the top of my head it looks like B1G, SEC, ACC and Pac 10, in that order. And the only reason the B1G is on top is because Collins came out of retirement.

lol at Kafka

I just saw this, nicely done gorocks!

Mark Brunell is still active, so that would add 32,000+ yards to the Pac 10. I am sure there are others in there as well.

I wonder how many yards a conference like the MAC has? They've have a few pretty decent QBs in the league in the last decade.
