The gap between the SEC and the other P5 conferences, and specifically the B12 is staggering.
It be interesting to see defensive line NFL players by team/conference. I suspect this is where the SEC really separates itself but I could be wrong.

I suspect this is where the SEC really separates itself but I could be wrong. totally agree.. This data proves two things: 1) The SEC DOMINATES all college football, when it comes to talent, 2) The P5 are FAR AHEAD of the G5 in that same category It also tells me, the B12 better get it's act together, or … they'll be replaced in the P5 by an up and coming AAC. Something I have been worried about for a few years now seems to be coming true. That is, this CFP system GREATLY REWARDS success... What I mean is, it really focuses the nation's attention on the 4 programs that make the highly limited playoff. When the same teams (Bama, Clemson, Ohio State, OU) make it every year, recruits notice. They want to play in the NFL, and be drafted as HIGH as possible. Making the CFP consistently is the strongest of all arguments when recruiting the TOP talent. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. That has been my fear: Texas picked the WORST POSSIBLE TIME to go through a multi-year slump. In this system, it might be difficult... maybe even impossible... to recover. Ironically, it is this same player desire (To be drafted by the NFL as high as possible) that might well be the final straw for the Bowl system that so many hate. The best players, at an ever-increasing rate, are SKIPPING the Bowl games... for fear of injury. Why risk it, in an exhibition game? Funny.. this behavior, IMO, will be THE CATALYST that expands the playoff. |

When you first posted this, my first thought was: Damn, Texas is not even in the Top 16 programs anymore? I should have known you might skew the data. Texas has 28 players currently on NFL rosters. Not sure why that didn't make your list? It's a number that is WAY DOWN over the past few years. But, we're still ahead of Iowa and Michigan. |

I suspect this is where the SEC really separates itself but I could be wrong. I counted D linemen for 2017 opening day and the SEC did dominate ( 4.0 per member ). B10 was second with 3.07 per, PAC 12 was third with 2.75 per, ACC 4th with 2.29 per and B12 had 1.50 per. |

Bevo, If you'll read the roster posts very carefully you will see 'active' opening day rosters. That means the 53 men per team that will actually run out onto the field in uniform. Texas had 23 of those active roster guys as of 9-7. There are about 350-360 more guys on injured reserve and practice squads. That's probably where your 28 comes from. Every team's total would increase if counting those non active guys. There are only 1696 players permitted to suit up for games in the NFL out of about 2000 + on the payrolls. Texas and Oklahoma, with 23 active NFL guys each ( as of 9/7 ) are tied for 19th most.
To demonstrate how much these roster counts can fluctuate ( because an average NFL career is only about 4 years ) the 2016 count showed Texas with 29 players ( tied for 9th best) ...and Bama was only 6th with 35 opening day active players.
So what makes you think that I would intentionally 'skew' the Texas count ?
