  Michigan and Miami are also probably top ten. I'd guess Oregon, Washington, Georgia would be in there.

  I'd guess Stanford also.

  Da U has to be. Testaverde, Kosar, Kelly and of course Ken Dorsy!

  I don't know, I was looking at a website that had all Pittsburgh QB's listed and it listed Namath. Maybe the site was not correct?

  I wonder which conference CURRENTLY boasts the most passing yards (active players). The B1G has to be up there with Brady, Brees, Orton, Henne, Painter, etc. ACC too with Matt Ryan, Matt Schaub, Mike Vick, Matt Hasselbeck, etc ... I guess you can never count out the SEC (Peyton, Eli, Newton, etc).

  Thinking about this one, and I'm just going off the obvious names/guys who have thrown a pass this year. Probably missing some backups that have some NFL yards.
  
  B1G:
  Brady 37,105
  Brees 38,012
  Orton 13,753
  Henne 7,114
  Painter 1,206
  Collins 40,922
  Kafka 107

  Sum: 138,219
  
  SEC:
  P. Manning 54,828
  E. Manning 24,773
  Newton 2,393
  Cutler 17,666
  Stafford 4,981
  Campbell 14,417
  Tebow 1,066
  Grossman 8,213

  ACC:
  Schaub 17,575
  Vick 16,461
  Hasselbeck 31,321
  Rivers 21,376
  Ryan 11,744
  Whitehurst 805
  Hill6,209
  Ponder: 554
  ----
  Sum: 106,045
  
  Pac 10:
  Rodgers: 15,095
  Palmer: 22,810
  Sanchez: 7,280
  Feeley: 4,462
  Cassel: 11,092
  Moore: 3,346
  Boller: 8,931
  ----
  Sum: 73,016
  
  I'm sure I'm missing some big names, but off the top of my head it looks like B1G, SEC, ACC and Pac 10, in that order. And the only reason the B1G is on top is because Collins came out of retirement.

  I just saw this, nicely done gorocks!
  
  Mark Brunell is still active, so that would add 32,000+ yards to the Pac 10. I am sure there are others in there as well.

  I wonder how many yards a conference like the MAC has? They've have a few pretty decent QBs in the league in the last decade.
