The first two rounds of the conference re-draft have been completed and most of the teams went pretty closely to expectations. There were 4 teams taken from the SEC, 3 from the Big 10, 2 from the Big 12, and 1 each from the ACC, Pac-12, and Notre Dame.
Here are the results:
| Round-Pick | Conference | Commissioner | Selection |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-1 | Conference #1 | BC Interruption | TEXAS |
| 1-2 | Conference #2 | Black Heart Gold Pants | FLORIDA |
| 1-3 | Conference #3 | Team Speed Kills | ALABAMA |
| 1-4 | Conference #4 | Big East Coast Bias | OHIO STATE |
| 1-5 | Conference #5 | House of Sparky | USC |
| 1-6 | Conference #6 | Red Cup Rebellion | LSU |
| 2-7 | Conference #6 | Red Cup Rebellion | MICHIGAN |
| 2-8 | Conference #5 | House of Sparky | NOTRE DAME |
| 2-9 | Conference #4 | Big East Coast Bias | FLORIDA STATE |
| 2-10 | Conference #3 | Team Speed Kills | OKLAHOMA |
| 2-11 | Conference #2 | Black Heart Gold Pants | PENN STATE |
| 2-12 | Conference #1 | BC Interruption | GEORGIA |
Looking at that list, I would say either conference #3 or #5 (the conference names are being created this week) started the best with Alabama/Oklahoma and USC/Notre Dame respectively. Obviously, that's looking at things from a football perspective. In basketball terms the best combo is probably Ohio State/Florida State. Not to impressive.
Any picks here that you would have done differently? What round do you think the Buffs will come off the board? Which one of these conferences would you like Colorado to join?
Note: There will be a slight format change for the rest of the draft. From now on we will just be picking at will and reporting the results as often as we want. The method of drafting proved to be much quicker and easier than we anticipated so we should be able to get through this whole thing in the next few weeks.

I'm surprised at some of those 2nd round picks
Georgia? FSU? Really? I’m amazed that OU was still there though.
Also, I’m calling it now that Conference #3 is going for an all-maroon slate. Next picks could potentially be A&M or Boston College
No way that BC will go third round.
I don’t think they’ll go until the fifth at least.

this obviously has nothing to do with basketball, so we can eliminate that criteria
Florida State seems really high. Before Oklahoma? Really?
Look, I've already told Utah to suck it. There's no going back now.
Technically it includes the entire AD
But it’s obvious that football is the sole issue so far.

if this included the entire athletic department,
then Stanford would be #1, and Ucla, North Carolina, and Syracuse would all be 1st round picks. There’s not even an argument to be made against them. Auburn has a really strong program as well. We can also talk about Vanderbilt. This is just football.

It includes the entire athletic department - but not just on the field results and the sports are not weighted equally.
I imagine UCLA and Stanford will go much higher than their football programs would suggest – but not in the first round.
