SEC doubled the number of first round picks the next highest conference had.
The vaunted Big Ten had just 1 picked

Yes. Bama is only getting better. Everyone else is getting better too. LSU/A&M/Florida/UGA may be here to stay, USCe will always be legit with HBC, but even after he goes as long as they get a good coach they'll stick around. UT/AU will be back. Arky/Vandy/Ole Miss will be solid. UK/Mizzou/State all suck though.

Using the SEC draft pick math, the ACC had 8 first rounders.

It seems to be widening from a north v. south standpoint, not just by conference - there were a lot of ACC guys taken. Not many northern schools are able to recruit well in the south (ND is probably the exception recently).

There was a quote several months back on LandThieves (the Oklahoma fan site), which best summarizes the level of competition in the SEC vs. other conferences (the Big 12):
"Iron sharpens iron. Butter sharpens nothing."
The SEC has become, for all intents and purposes, the NFL Development League. And though someday the title streak will end, the level of competition throughout the SEC shows no signs of slowing down. Since the title streak began, the SEC has had 10, 6, 8, 7, 10, 9, and 12 first round selections in the following NFL Draft.
And the irony of ironies is that the player's college coach (Bret Bielema) is now coaching in the SEC.![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/IconLOL.gif)

You ask this question like all teams in the SEC are equal. Let's see...
Is the gap between Ole Miss and the rest of the country widening? No.
Is the gap between Vanderbilt and the rest of the country widening? No.
Is the gap between Kentucky and the rest of the country widening? No.
Is the gap between Auburn and the rest of the country widening? Hellz no.
Is the gap between Texas A&M and the rest of the country widening? A&M is getting better it seems, but in their first year in the SEC they held their own. So does that mean the A&M was better than people gave them credit for, or that the SEC isn't as difficult as most make it out to be?
Is the gap between Alabama and the rest of the country widening? Yes.
Is the gap between Miss State and the rest of the country widening? No.
Is the gap between Missouri and the rest of the country widening? No.
Is the gap between LSU and the rest of the country widening? Maybe.
Is the gap between Arkansas and the rest of the country widening? No.
Is the gap between Florida and the rest of the country widening? No.
Is the gap between South Carolina and the rest of the country widening? No.
Is the gap between Georgia and the rest of the country widening? No.
Is the gap between Tennessee and the rest of the country widening? No.
So overall.... no.
