The 2025 NFL Draft is back in the spotlight on Thursday night from Lambeau Field, and that means the battle for college football conference supremacy is back on the line.
When it comes to bragging rights, college football fans love nothing more than watching their team’s conference dominate the NFL Draft and put the most players in the league, especially in the first round.
Every year, the SEC and Big Ten battle for the crown of most players drafted — both in top-10 picks and total selections.
This year, with PrizePicks’ free-to-play Draft game, you can predict how many players from the SEC or Big Ten will be drafted in the top 10 picks and in the entire draft. If your picks are right, you’ll win a share of $500,000 in Free Lineups.
How Many SEC and Big Ten Players Will be Drafted?
Here’s what the draft projections for each conference in the free Draft game say:
- SEC: 3.5 players in the top 10, 62.5 overall picks
- Big Ten: 2.5 players in the top 10, 65.5 overall picks
Here are the number of players in each conference we have predicted to go in the first round, according to the Playbook’s 2025 NFL Mock Draft.
- SEC — 3
- Big Ten — 2
- Big 12 — 2
- ACC — 1
- Sun Belt — 1
- Mountain West — 1
It will be interesting to see if this is how it plays out, or if one conference gets more players in the top ten than predicted.
