So basically, there's about a 5% difference in NFL talent. That sounds like a slim margin to me. I'm not questioning the #1 status, merely wondering if these numbers truly support the lopsided mantra that is found here and elsewhere. So the SEC is receiving twice the incoming talent, but producing nearly identical NFL numbers (+5%). Either there's a disparity in coaching, or hype.
:huh: OK your math is different than mine because I'm getting 9.5% greater number of SEC origin players. (238/263)-1 But maybe I just suck at 5th grade math...:grin:
Nah, it's mine that sucks I divided 263/497 - 52.9% (.. but forgot to figure the other side 238/497 - 47.88%. 5.02% right? I'll admit I'm not a numbers expert.
Also as pointed out over on BP, the SEC also has the luxury of a 12 team... per Zurp: 263 / 12 = 21.9 players per SEC team on NFL rosters. 234 / 11 = 21.3 players per Big Ten team on NFL rosters.
I am not sure why you are adding the two unless you want pieces of the pie in which case you should add all the teams? The percentage of the difference between the two conferences (not the realtive share between the two) is what I calculated. But it's all semantics anyway... "There are lies, damned lies and statistics." :grin:
263/234=1.1239 Or (263-234)/234=0.1239 Either way you want to do it, the SEC has 12.39% more players on NFL rosters. That's significant.
That's incoming for this year, dude. True freshmen don't play in the NFL...except for your boy Mo Clarett. Go back and look up the top 250 for the past decade before making such an irrational extrapolation.
You are right its not your average staurday night, because they are always playing at noon or during the day. :nope: They might play one game! Yeah! Not the same trust me. :wave:
