Outside of never having been in <insert poster's room in his house>, what do these 7 players have in common?Ben Roethlisberger, Logan Mankins, Byron Leftwich, Charles Tillman, QB Alex Smith, DeMarcus Ware and Jeff Faine?

Top-35 picks from non-BCS schools.

This answers pretty close, so I've decided to give it to him.Those seven players are the highest drafted players in the past five years from the seven non-BCS leagues: the WAC, MAC, CUSA, Sun Belt, Mountain West, Independent and non-D1 leagues. And yes, I know Notre Dame is a BCS team, but there are six BCS power conferences, and the Independents (even though that's not a conference) aren't one of them.

Stupid question from a clueless member, what is a BCS School? I have a Bachelor of Science (BSc), is this like a Bachelor of Sports?

See, this is why I like wikipedia. It answers questions others won't lower themselves to. I wasn't sure if "BCS" was an official term, but figured I would give it a try. I didn't even realize college had conferences like the NFL.

Honestly, no. Sorry you interpreted it as that. I have stated in other posts on this board that I started watching the NFL when I started playing fantasy football. Up until then, I completely ignored sports (except the occasional hockey game). A friend invited me to participate in an XFL Fantasy league. After that went away, I joined his NFL league. I never went to a game while in college. The only exposure I had was playing Tecmo Bowl with my roommates. I'm still learning things about the sport. I do not pay attention to college sports, so this was news to me.
