to make some serious noise in the BT West.
From Rivals:
Some facts and figures from the draft:
Big Six schools with zero draftees were Duke, Iowa State, Kansas, Minnesota, Northwestern, Vanderbilt and Wake Forest.
The SEC had the most draftees, with 38. The ACC was second with 35, followed by the Pac-10 with 31, the Big 12 with 30, the Big Ten with 29, the Big East with 22, the Western Athletic with 16, the Mountain West with 10, Conference USA with seven, the Sun Belt with five and the Mid-American with three.
The SEC led the way with 10 first-rounders, including five of the first six selections. The Big 12 had eight picks, including three of the top 10. Next came the Big Ten with six, the ACC and Pac-10 with three each and the Big East and MAC with one each. Two of the Pac-10's were taken among the first 10.
North Carolina and USC each had nine players drafted, tied for the most of any school. Miami had eight, Nebraska seven, and Clemson, Georgia, Iowa and LSU had six each. None of those eight schools played in a BCS bowl, and Clemson and Georgia finished with losing records.
Robert Quinn turned out to be the only defender from UNC to go in the first round. At this time last year, some draft observers were saying North Carolina could have six first-round picks off its defense alone. It had one -- DE Robert Quinn. Just five UNC defenders were drafted.
Oregon, which lost in the national championship game, had one player drafted. Auburn, which won the national title, had four. That means the BCS title game had five draftees -- the fewest of any of the BCS bowls. The Fiesta, which matched Connecticut and Oklahoma, had eight. The Orange, which matched Stanford and Virginia Tech, had seven. The Rose, which matched TCU and Wisconsin, had 10. And the Sugar, which matched Arkansas and Ohio State, also had eight. The Music City Bowl, which matched North Carolina and Tennessee, had the most draftees with 11.

Very insightful article on how the NFL views college talent, drafted and undrafted.
No mention of Weber, but some interesting comments on Wisky's undrafted Clay and Tolzien.
