... but still had a lousy year (by our standards). We had the most picks in our conference, lots more than teams that kicked our ass (e.g., Baylor). In fact, Baylor, K-State, and TCU had only two picks each, fewer than league chump Kansas.
No first rounders for us, true, but look at Louisville which had 10 picks and won only one more game than we did--and not in a great conference. There's underachieving and then there's UNDERACHIEVING. Ohio State had only 5 picks, which tells me they had a young team and will roll some people next year.
One can argue that the draft doesn't reflect overall team quality, although Florida State had 11 picks, including several first-rounders. I'm trying to recall our record the year we had 3 of the first 4 or 5 picks, with 4 overall in the first round.
Conclusions?
