Florida football rank all-time in prospects drafted & nearest competitors

As the above tweet shows, Florida football ranks 2nd all-time in the SEC for players drafted.  However, where do they rank among other conferences overall?  As of right now, they place 8th in total players drafted all-time at 364 players.  Penn State ranks above them at 367 (3 player difference) and Nebraska below Florida at 363 (1 player difference).  Every team from 5th to 17th is within 76 of each other, with Michigan (#5) at 387 and Washington (#17) at 311.

What about the Florida Alabama rivalry?  Over the years we have seen so many different scenarios between these teams, including the 2008 SEC Championship seen above.  As of right now, surprisingly, there are only 20 players separating the Gators and the Crimson Tide, with Alabama at 384 and Florida at 364 as previously mentioned.  The nearest SEC rival below Florida would be LSU, at 359, as we could come to expect lately with how many of the Super Bowl players were on these two collegiate teams previously.
