For those who have been doubting the Southeastern Conference's prowess of late, all they have to do is look at recent NFL drafts for proof that it remains the dominant league in college football.
Last year the SEC had 54 selections, the second most in draft history. It set the record the year before with 63 players picked.
The SEC led the nation's conferences in draft picks for the ninth consecutive year in 2015. The last time that the SEC did not top the conference draft list was in 2006, when the ACC had 52, the Big Ten had 41 and the SEC had 37.
