What determines the best conference in football?  Is it the conference that produces the National Champion, the conference that has the best bowl game record, or the conference that has the most players drafted?

IMO, the SEC is the best conference for multiple reasons.  1. In the last 10 years the SEC has won the National Championship more than any other conference and it isn't even close.   The SEC has won it 7 of the last 10 years with the ACC winning two times and OSU winning it once. 2. The SEC typically sends 10 or more teams to bowl games with regularity.  3. The SEC is usually represented in the recruiting classes of the top 10 every year more so than any other conference. and 4. Because I say so...

Yes. 
Disagree.  Some conferences play in earlier bowls against inferior opponents.  So that can skew the Bowl record.  Like last year when the Big10 went 7-1 in bowl games, with only Michigan losing to South Carolina.  I think one year recently Conference USA had the best bowl record, but they clearly weren't the best conference, any more that UCF was the best team because it won all its games last year.

So you're comparing apples to oranges with that measure.

I think the best conference is determined by all these but ALSO one more item; Who graduates the most players. RTR!

That's probably the Ivy League.

The simple answer is the conference that has the most depth.  Since there aren't a whole lot of inter-conference games against Power 5 schools, judgment mostly comes down to an eye test.  I'd say the number of bowl eligible teams, particularly in bowls played between Christmas and New Years, is about as good of a qualifier as you can get.  Most of those games, teams need to win 8 games at a minimum.  To get to 8 wins, you have to have at least a .500 record in conference play, even if you swept non-conference play.  For the SEC to have two teams that were in the discussion for a 4-team playoff, and still have 10 teams in bowl games between Dec 26-Jan 1, well that's just ridiculous.
