the sr bowls are there to showcase players to pro scouts, therefore select players that they think will draw the most scouts.

Do you know if the pros have a hand in making this list. I don't believe that it is just random list of seniors thrown together. Who generates the list?

The Senior Bowl in Mobile is the most prestigious. The teams are coached by professional staffs. They are chosen by a panel of people associated with the SB, but rely to a certain degree on guidance from pro scouts. They try to have at least one player from each SEC school represented. Understandably more Alabama and Auburn players are generally chosen.
The others also play to local interest as well. Not every body invited is a genuine pro prospect and not all pro prospects attend the games. Some players choose to skip them, preferring to showcase their talents at try-outs, combines, etc.
