GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
The Big Ten leads all college football conference in number of Super Bowl players with 19. That's right, SEC fans, you don't rock the house - at least for this year's Super Bowl.Perhaps this reflects the necessary cold-weather taste of Chicago and Indianapolis general managers who knew they'd need a few extra cold weather guys to survive icy playoff battles.
Whatever the reason, there she is with 19 participants among players on either the active roster, injured reserve or non-football injury/illness list.
The ACC came in second with 15 participants, the Big 12 third with 14, the SEC fourth with 12 the Pac-10 fifth at 11 and the Big East sixth at eight participants.
Reflecting the reality that football talent is not confined to D-IA schools (nor America, for that matter), 16 players arrive at the Super Bowl from someplace other than D-IA schools.
The rest of the data:
Independents placed six player representatives in Super Bowl XLI, the Mountain West six, the Western Athletic Conference five, the Sun Belt four, the Mid-America Conference two and one from Conference USA.
So there's your college football angle to this whole Super Bowl excitement. Signing Day is just a few days away at which point we can return to some normalcy with talk of Spring, Summer and Fall football practices and workouts and head into the 2007-2008 college football season.
