Pac-10 Report: League May Not Be Able to Fill Its Bowl Commitments

[wheaton4prez]

i'm arguing the gap isn't what you guys think it is.

Just wanted to chime in to say that you've done an excellent job in this thread, holding down the Pac-10 fort.

Bravo, sir.

The difference between the SEC and other conferences is the defensive line. Huge, strong guys that can run. Everything else is fairly even but the DL is an enormous gap.

The SEC usually dominates the bowl games even when they are ranked up against top teams in other leagues. They'll match a low SEC team with a 2 loss Big 10 team and call it even.

Pac 10 is ok but basically there is no middle or the middle is very weak more like.

I really don't see a talent difference betweem SEC and the Pac 10 from top to bottom.

2010 NFL Draft

SEC: 49

PAC-10: 28

With SC being down, sanctioned, and out of it for the next 3 to 4 years, those numbers will slide considerably in the favor of the SEC. SC, prior to Carroll leaving, provided a 3rd of the PAC-10's total NFL talent. :ermm:

We'll we will see again when it's bowl time. I actually think the SEC is down this year... most of the SEC teams have no offense.

At the end of the day, imho the difference between the SEC and other conferences is the DL. I think this year is a down year. I don't see a talent difference except at DL, SEC has huge advantage there against any other conference.

More teams in the SEC right?

More teams in the SEC right?

Sure, but it doesn't really matter.

It's also absurdly simple to check.

Divide the SEC total by 12 and the PAC 10 total by 10. SEC still produces much more NFL draft picks on a per team basis.

The Pac-10 is adding Colorado and Utah, whom between them, will produce, at most, 5 NFL draft picks per season.

While true for 2010, the 2008 and 2009 drafts had more Pac-10 players drafted per school.

usc alone carried the PAC-10's numbers in that respect.

if the sec is so good, why can't it handle playing decent non conference teams? why be afraid? clearly you'd roll everyone right?

I dont think that's what he was trying to say.. but since you went there.. just look at the national championship games played in and won by the SEC. I think we won...oh the last few ...and then some

usc alone carried the PAC-10's numbers in that respect.

Oregon had six draft picks (not UFAs) and Oregon State had a total of seven in 2009.

Cal, Oregon St and Oregon always do well in the draft, part of the reason the 2010 draft was so weak for the Pac-10 is all three of those teams were pretty young with a lot of starters returning (18 for Oregon, 17 for OSU, 15? for Cal).

usc alone carried the PAC-10's numbers in that respect.

And California's talent seems to be staying in the conference for the most part... There's probably going to be the same amount of elite talent in the conference for years to come, just more spread out.
