Pick-by-pick results are here, but if you want some conference bragging rights stuff, here are raw picks numbers:

We’ll have some cooler numbers coming later this weekend, but that’s a nice start.
The SEC wins, as basically always. It has the best recruiting and spends a trillion dollars on coaches and gadgets to help those players along, so none of this is a surprise.
The ACC and Pac-12 both performed well, with each school averaging about three picks throughout the class.
The Big 12 had a horrible weekend. I’d like to talk about that part now.
- It fell behind the mid-major AAC in total picks and not faring much better in average picks per team.
- Three other mid-majors aren’t too far behind the Big 12, either.
- If you took out Oklahoma, the Big 12 would’ve ranked right in the middle of the mid-majors.
- If we counted all FCS teams in one group, the Big 12 would rank behind that one as well.
- If you made a conference of teams that left the Big 12 (Texas A&M, Missouri, Colorado, and Nebraska), it would’ve had 11 picks, or just about as many as the entire remaining Big 12.
- That’s about all I have to say about the Big 12. How about you?
