BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- The conference with the most 2013 NFL Draft picks? That would be the SEC East, which had 32 picks to edge the SEC West and ACC, which each had 31.

It's no longer enough to qualify the SEC's draft-day dominance as an entire conference. In its first year as a 14-team conference, the SEC had 63 draft picks, an all-time record by any league and more than double the next closest conference this year.

Divisions now appear to be the best way to put the SEC's NFL talent into perspective. The SEC's two seven-team divisions each surpassed the number of draft picks for nearly every other conference, which tend to range from 10 to 14 teams.

2013 NFL Draft Picks By Conference (or Division)

Conference 2013 Picks SEC East 32 SEC West 31 ACC 31 Pac-12 28 Big 12 22 Big Ten 22 Big East 18 C-USA 8 Mountain West 7 MAC 7 Sun Belt 4

Or to put it another way: Alabama, LSU, Florida and Georgia combined for more picks than every conference. Within the SEC, those four schools are the upper echelon of the league in drafts, with South Carolina not far behind.

The Iron Bowl scoreboard in NFL draft picks over the past five years: Alabama 33, Auburn 11. Auburn's two selections in the past two years are its fewest in a two-year period since having no picks from 1951 to '54.

With six draft picks since the 2010 BCS championship, Auburn has the fewest by a school in the three years after a national title in at least 20 years.
