Draft Picks By Conference (1 Viewer)

What happened to the thread about the draft picks per conference?

Good question.

I guess that other thread got deleted for some reason. Found on rivals some drafts stats for the decade using 2000-2009 drafts. I added in parenthesis the average by team stats for the BCS conferences since one guy thinks that's the best way to view stats. I have no idea if rivals did the numbers correctly like counting Boston College draft picks for the ACC while they were in the ACC and for the Big East while they were in the Big East. That would easily throw off the average per team not that it's relevant anyway.

Why would average draftee per team in a conference be irrelevant?

Why would it be relevant? Does it really show us anything about that conference without looking more into the data?

I guess that other thread got deleted for some reason.

I'm guessing LHucks deleted it himself when he realized that he had started a thread about the Pac-10 having the most draft picks per team when they, in fact, did not have the most draft picks per team. Not to mention that his original thread was a stretch in the first place (of course he decided picks per team was more important given that the SEC had more picks total, and I'm sure if he had realized that the Big East had more picks per team he would've found a new criteria to work around that as well) and that his response to the Big East ownage had everyone laughing even more than the broken statement that started the thread.Just a theory, of course.
