ACC 2nd in players taken in draft

And that's with Clemson's players making a pact to come back for next season.
Increased money has helped the ACC upgrade across the board (Duke had a track around their football field up until a relatively few years ago), which has allowed the ACC to win more southern recruits. Which has been huge for the conference.
 

Interesting list....
  • 12: Alabama
  • 7: LSU, NC State, Ohio State
  • 6: Florida State, Georgia, Miami, Penn State
Based on this list, I can conclude the following:

- Of the 8 teams on the list, only two of them have not played for the National Championship in the new millennium. One of them is NC State. The other? Penn State...

- NC State is better than Penn State.

- Ohio State is the king of the Big Ten.

- Only two Big Ten teams in the top 8. While the better leagues (ACC and SEC) have 3 each...

- Only one of those schools on the list was party to a horrific scandal involving children...

- One of those schools listed was recently implicated in racist videos...

Thanks for sharing....

It's still the top teams in each conference that provide the majority of draft picks
sec top four - 31 out of the 53
acc top three - 19 out of the 45
bten top three - 18 out of the 32
Why stop at just the conferences?
bten east - 20
acc coastal - 19

I wonder if somewhere right now there is a kentucky fan bragging about sec football?

Do you go to other team’s message boards? All I hear is that Pitt is a meaningless opponent, and PS cannot wait to end the series. But yet, Nitters like you keep coming to our message board. Very strange.

Oh......Were you trying to send us a subtle message with this link? No?

Well then all I did was analyze the list and wrote what came to mind when I saw it.... Who's bragging? About what?

He has no clue what he's talking about...he is an angry / bitter Ped St fan. No idea why he even posts here.

Largest crowd at Beaver Stadium was last year against Pitt

Actually your post proves what pitt fans have long argued, the b10 is top heavy with a bunch of stiff's at the bottom, which means easy wins for the better teams. The bottom 11 big ten teams had 14 players drafted, that is just pathetic. The bottom 11 ACC schools had 26 or almost double in fact the bottom of the ACC teams average more players drafted per school than the whole b12 and basically the same as the whole b10.
 
“Sanctions” really hampered you guys, huh. Recruiting was hardly affected.
The sanctions would have had a lot more effect if they weren't lifted early. They really only amounted to a slap on the wrist because the bowl ban and Scholarships were lifted after 2 season's. Also the sanctions were just a way for the NCAA to save face. They lifted them early and PSU coaches were telling recruits they would be lifted from the get go. My brother in law coaches at a local HS who had a player being recruited by Obrien 1 year after the sanctions took effect he said the coaches flat out told the recruit that the sanctions would be lifted before the recruit was a JR at PSU. The sanctions were just a publicity stunt and PSU agreed to them knowing they would be reduced as soon as the public was no longer rioting about PSU.

Please do not use facts when debating with a nitter. it just doesn't compute with them. in the last 10 years there have been some years where we have had the same or more drafted.

the bitters had 6 players drafted and 100 children molested. they got us

I know branch campuses don't provide the best educations, but I learned what a majority was in elementary school. 19 out of 45 is not a majority.

And it is pretty funny how the "mighty" Big Ten East, the supposed "toughest division in football" had only one more draft pick than the ACC Coastal.

Draft eligibility does play a role in this, you do realize? The Big Ten East reloads and a lot of the best young talent in the league that is on the best teams were true sophomores.
 
The ACC has finished 2nd the last 3 or 4 years for putting most players in the draft.

The Big 10 has finished below the ACC all 3 years. So much for the argument of whether players go pro early or not.

Just more evidence the ACC has surpassed the Big 10. Along with how much better the ACC has done in the 4 team playoff. On top of the Big 10 getting embarrassed when they have a team compete in it.

Looking at recruiting. The ACC top 3 recruit just as good as the top 3 in the Big 10. If not better
