No surprise that the SEC leads the way overall with 137. I would have pegged the Big Ten with second place, but that goes to the ACC with 121. I wonder how many of those are the Florida schools? I was also surprised at the low number from the Big 12 (only 72 total and 28 on offense).

It would be interesting to see the breakdown by school. The article is from a paper in Louisiana so they just mention the SEC. Tennessee leads the way with 20 followed by Georgia with 19 and Florida and LSU with 16 each.
