It's because we play more defense than the entire Big 12
Nice PopeL! That was good!
@ pick #197.
Make that 11.
The Big 12 sucks but that is still impressive.
draft threads titled with random stats about how great this draft is for us? Don't get me wrong, this is a great stat, but not new thread-worthy. You're going to bump Hatch off the front page! Cumong, man.
The Big XII has since broken the 10-line, but again, individual teams like Michigan - now at 11 - are surpassing an entire conference, which I find amusing actually. The MAC and Mountain West were running neck and neck with the Big XII for a while too, and the AAC still has one more than the Big XII, I think. Not a good year for them unless your school has "Oklahoma" in its name somewhere.
Over the years, a fair amount of the faculty came from Meechigan and it shows. The B-School dean was a Michigan grad.
Now if we are talking about whether or not the ou football players know where campus is beyond the athletic facilities, well that is another story. Marcus Dupree was on campus for 3 semesters and probably never went to class.

I don't think we should talk, a jock is a jock and i've never seen players from the pro pipeline sports in class, except for midterms/final
How many picks left?
41. Hope Michigan takes over the 7th!
47 corners drafted and no Stribling yet. Someone is getting a steal.
11-10 right now, good guys.
FCS has 12, as well.
Edit:
Now B12 has 12 and FCS 15. we're still at 11
And arguable better overall players. MAC is on the rise (maybe?)
Funny seeing a bunch of names of guys who Michigan missed on in recruiting like McQuay and Vanderdoss. Brings back old memories--my how the time flies!
When I saw McQuay's name, I was like wow three years goes faster than you think. Remember his recruitment like it was yesterday.
And it's Bell's again.
Shocked the Big12 had 8 drafted what a shitty conference

Consider that the MAC has about the same...I think it's clear evidence both that the Texas conference is dying and that the P5 is just a cartel. No idea how they can justify 1 loss Oklahoma in the playoff but not Western
