Top recruiting classes, and bunches of players getting drafted every year. More proof Michigan is in dire need of a quality football coach.

For the 14th straight year, the SEC was the king of the NFL Draft.

All that supposed Texas talent and they only get 3 drafted.

Numbers skewed a little since big12 has less teams than others

True, but it's easy to account for this by simply dividing the number of draft picks by the number of teams in each conference. For example, the B1G had 48 draft picks and has 14 members, so it had 3.43 players drafted per school, whereas the Big 12 had 21 draft picks from its 10 members, an average of 2.1 players drafted per school.

Texas only had 6 players who left the program for the draft.

You have to account for players leaving.

Like with Stills and WVU
He could have been drafted this year. But decided to come back and attempt to he a first round pick

I know I shouldn't but I'm going to try to break in here, with all the stupidity going on and I dare say about to come, and try to give a little perspective.

One also has to look at the recruiting area each conference has - about the number of high schools in the conference's footprint.

For the B12, outside of Texas, there literally isn't much to choose from. How many high schools in WV? Oklahoma? Kansas? You get the point. These are states with smaller populations also.

The SEC had the most chosen - again. Think about it. The most populous states - California, Texas, and Florida - and the SEC has a footprint in 2 out of the 3. The rest of the most populous in terms of high schools and the SEC has a footprint in probably 10 or so out of the top 15?

Another reason for the draft picks could be the style of offense or defense a team runs. Teams that run a more "traditional" style offense - Bama, Ohio State, Michigan - are more likely to produce NFL talent than "spread" teams because that's what the NFL is looking for. The same can go for defense. Teams that run NFL style defenses with prototypical NFL style talent will send more kids than those who run more exotic/hybrid defenses.

Now, I'll let you dopes get back to your shenanigans and ruin another thread.

There are a few teams in the ACC, Big 12 and PAC 12 who are worth anything

So as we continue to go on they have three options
1) Keep the status quo if the money is right
2) Join the SEC or B1G
3) Begin to merger these conferences together.

Ultimately like I have said you are going to see movement between those three conferences
WVU just has to make sure they have a seat

ACC is even more behind because they have 14 schools.

They actually average less than 2 draft picks per school.
Big 12 is at 2.1

Spread teams are winning super bowls. See KC. The Kansas City Chiefs run a hybrid college/professional-style offense. Actually, it is mostly just college-style, right down to the dual-threat quarterback.

Now you can get back to your drivel and ancient history NFL.

Then, according to your thinking, the B12 should start to surpass (or already should have) the other conferences any year now in the number of recruits going to the NFL, whereas virtually every B12 team runs the spread. The Chiefs could be an outlier or a harbinger of things to come.

We'll see. We can revisit this thread idea again in a couple of years to see if it happened or if the B12 is still hovering near the bottom in the number of recruits, which IS the main idea of this thread.

I'm trying to adhere to that - the main idea - instead of going off on tangents and ad hominem attacks. The ones who do that have already started and will continue until this is another carnival side show.

If I'm wrong, I'm not afraid to admit it. Yet, I'm sure they'll still be those who post ad nauseum there posting with glee over it.

Yep, and Spartan must not be a Michigan State Spartan, as if he were, he would know that Ohio State has run a spread offense ever since Urban Meyer arrived in Columbus in 2012.

most people who don't follow college football, still believe the B1G is a 3 yards and a cloud of dust conference. Granted, there's a few teams in the B1G that will try to pound the ball on you (if they can) like Wisconsin, Iowa, and Michigan, but most are using some version of the spread offense.

As for the spartan guy, his user name is actually spartansSTINK. If he's from WV, then maybe he hates Greenbrier East.

It's not my thinking it's fact. LSU is now a pro-spread team and the Texas team they outscored is also a pro-spread, believe it or not.

Using the spread to run the ball and then score with play-action is the preferred style in the Big 12. Oklahoma State uses it, Oklahoma leans heavily in this direction, Baylor prefers this approach, Iowa State tends to rely on this, and West Virginia will probably aim for this style.

The stereotypical SEC slug fests, the ones with the brutal array of jarring hits, barely any open field to breathe and barely any points on the scoreboard, well, they’ve taken quite a hit themselves recently.

Those 9-6 final scores so familiar with proud SEC fans are becoming a thing of the past. While some of the most ferocious defenses with some of the best pro prospects still reside in the Southeastern Conference, offense steadily has been on the uptick.

One big reason for the sudden shift, spread offenses. What can’t be debated are the staggering offensive totals of today. The numbers are the numbers. Which means those 9-6 SEC specials might become football dinosaurs sooner than you think.

Yes we're are going to see it all come back around one day. All things sports wise usually does. Maybe it won’t look the same as it did back in the ’80s, but it will come back around in some form or fashion. It's all about type athlete a team has and what fits best for your current team.

Types of offensive schemes have nothing to do with the draft. It's all about talent and will that talent best fit our needs as a team.
