The Big Ten currently has more than twice as much as any conference at 47 players, however that number will change to 50 next season when Nebraska officially joins. The next closest conferences are the SEC and ACC with 22 each.

The Southeastern Conference had 263 players on the 2007 National Football League opening day active rosters, which led all conferences. The Atlantic Coast Conference was second with 238 players, followed by the Big Ten with 234 players, Pac-10 with 183 players, Big 12 with 176 players and the Big East with 84 players. Among SEC schools, Georgia was first with 37 former players on NFL rosters, followed by Tennessee with 36, LSU with 33, Florida with 31 and Auburn with 30. Alabama had 21 players on NFL rosters, while South Carolina had 19, Ole Miss and Mississippi State had 17 each, Arkansas had 12, Kentucky six and Vanderbilt with five. The SEC had five of its schools with 30-or-more-players on NFL rosters. No other conference had two. Nationally, Miami (Fla.) leads with 46 former players on NFL rosters, followed by Ohio State with 44, Florida State with 41, Tennessee with 36 and Georgia with 35. The lists do not include players who were not on opening day rosters and since been activated. This is also the correct answer for 2005 and 2006.

LSU and the University of Florida(UF) are both in the South Eastern Conference(SEC). However they play in different divisions of the SEC. LSU in the SEC west and Florida in the SEC east. The two teams do face each other every football season due to the SECs unique inter-divisional rivalry plan which pits each team against the same team from the opposite division every year.

According to ESPN's 2010 'NFL Players By College' the Pac-10 has 198 players on NFL rosters. By comparison the SEC has 261 but with two additional teams. If you include future Pac-10 members Colorado and Utah for an apples-to-apples 12 team vs 12 team comparison the Pac '12' has 235 to the SEC's 261. Utah will probably recruit better in an AQ conference and CU should since they recruit heavily in CA. In a few years the gap should close somewhat but for now it's 21.75 NFL players per SEC team and 19.8 per Pac-10 team, way closer than some would have you believe.
