It’s no surprise that the Almighty SEC leads heads the pack. They win national titles. They win bowl games. They win NFL draft arguments.

What is surprising is how far the Big 12 is lagging behind. Less than half of the first round picks as the SEC? Ouch.

The much maligned Big Ten fairs pretty well in this analysis, finishing with a strong second place showing.
