Any idea what the numbers are for this century?
Since 2000?

SEC = 11 Championships
ACC = 3 Championships
Big 12 = 2 Championships
Big 10 = 2 Championships
PAC 12 = 1 Championship

In the NFL draft? These are rough since teams moved conferences…it is easier to note the top contenders.

Ohio State 141
Alabama 127
LSU 126
Miami 119
Florida 117
Georgia 115
USC 112
Florida State 109
Oklahoma 101

In terms of QB performance in the SB…by their college conference…the story is quite fascinating!

  1. Independent (11)- Joe Montana x4, Roger Staubach x2, Jeff Hostetler, Brad Johnson, Johnny Unitas, Joe Theismann, Brett Favre
  2. Big Ten Conference (11) - Tom Brady x6, Bob Griese x2, Drew Brees, Len Dawson, Russell Wilson
  3. Pac-12 (9)- Jim Plunkett x2, John Elway x2, Troy Aikman x3, Mark Rypien, Nick Foles, Aaron Rodgers
  4. Southeastern Conference (8)- Bart Starr x2, Eli Manning x2, Peyton Manning x2, Joe Namath, Ken Stabler
  5. Gulf States (4)- Terry Bradhshaw x4
Since 2000 these numbers are different with the Big 10 way on the top (Brady) and SEC a distant second with the Manning brothers.

BTW, this is the year Saban loses to one of his former assistants. Georgia is better than Alabama.

“The Penn State Board of Trustees commissioned an independent investigation by former FBI Director Louis Freeh, whose report stated that Penn State's longtime head football coach Joe Paterno, along with Spanier, Curley and Schultz, had known about allegations of child abuse by Sandusky as early as 1998, had shown "total and consistent disregard...for the safety and welfare of Sandusky's child victims", and "empowered" Sandusky to continue his acts of abuse by failing to disclose them.”

Not just one dude. A lot of people cared more about football and a coach’s reputation than stopping someone from raping children. But you know that since it’s in the first couple paragraphs from the link you just posted.

When the head coach, athletic director, and president all know and do nothing, I’ll go one more step and say the school is known for it.

I agree that it’s disgusting that Sandusky was allowed to do what he did, but it doesn’t make the entire school complicit.

I’ll throw them in when students rioted when the fired Paterno. And how alumni continued and continue to fight the facts. Also from your link:

“As a result of the scandal, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) imposed sanctions on the Penn State football program: a $60 million fine, a four-year postseason ban, scholarship reductions, and a vacation of all victories from 1998 to 2011.[8]These sanctions were considered to be among the most severe ever imposed on an NCAA member school. NCAA President Mark Emmertstated that the sanctions were levied "not to be just punitive, but to make sure the university establishes an athletic culture and daily mindset in which football will never again be placed ahead of educating, nurturing and protecting young people."”

So you think the entire student body was privy to the details when JoPa was fired?

They had enough. But football is more important than kids getting raped. For some reason you’re still trying to defend when someone says “Penn St is known for doing more than waving to kids”. Because Penn St is known for having coaches, an athletic director, president, and vice president enable child rape.

To be honest to everyone here I am a team guy and couldn’t care less about conferences. It is fun to poke at the SEC jock sniffers from time to time but I will remain a fan of my team even after they move to a different conference. (Maybe they’ll automatically get better….like Texas A&M currently making Alabama work for a living!).

I seriously wonder what they will do if Alabama loses (to the unranked Aggies) while other programs remain undefeated like Iowa, OU, and even Michigan?

Got it. Why stop at Penn State? Go ahead and make it Big10 or all of NCAA.

But you’re right, 1,000 college kids protest, and the ENTIRE SCHOOL is guilty. I see how it works.

Yesterday was an exciting college football day. The Bama/A&M game was a nail biter. If @Randy Daytona is right (assuming things remain the same) Bama falls against Georgia then they are out of the play offs…can the universe survive that? There is still a lot of football left and this season should continue to be a fun one!

WalMart will probably have a bad quarter if ‘Bama is done that early…
