Interesting, found this on another site tonight. It contains general historical information for teams and allows you to compare them to others.

That's really cool - I've seen that in screenshots a few times but never knew where it came from.

Something interesting I noticed - is this a statistical anomaly, or is there some kind of explanation for this?

Iowa leads ISU in total NFL draft picks by almost exactly a 2:1 margin (239 to 116), but leads in first round draft picks by a 19:1 margin. What gives?
 
Looking at some of our win/loss records against teams I noticed we were 4-6 against Kansas, I think we could change that real quick if we'd just replace the North Texas's and NDSU's of our schedule with them. Don't think it'd be much tougher of a schedule either.

Not to mention Utah, Colorado and the NC State 0-3 eye sore. Kick em while their down.

What's confusing about that? Iowa has had 19 guys drafted in the 1st rd, ISU had one guy drafted taken in the 1st.

Iowa has had an additional 220 guys drafted in the other 7 rds (or whatever), and ISU has had 115 guys drafted in the other 7 rds.

I'm not confused, just trying understand the disparity between the 2 stats. Iowa leads 19:1 for 1st round picks but only by 2:1 in picks in all rounds. That's a very uneven statistical distribution.
 
Put another way, if I told you Iowa had roughly a 2:1 advantage in NFL draft picks over ISU and then told you Iowa has had 19 first round picks and then asked you to estimate how many first round picks ISU has had, you would probably guess 9 or 10...when if fact it's only 1. Trying to understand the disparity (beyond the obvious fact that ISU sucks, of course)...
 
First round picks are the top 28 college players in the entire country. Exactly how many of those would you expect to come through one of the 10 worst programs in the history of college football*? Pretty much all BCS conference teams have 100+ players drafted, but only schools good at recruiting & developing talent are going to get kids drafted in the first round.....so the answer is that the difference is because ISU sucks at football and sucks at recruiting good players. (Kansas & Northwestern have each had 50 more players drafted than ISU)

I'll probably guess that since Iowa was ISU-bad during the 60s' & 70s', it depressed the overall number of players drafted from Iowa.
 
If they could make 1 enhancement, I'd suggest you could enter a date range. But very neat sophisticated site with clean graphics, great asthetics.
