For some reason I can't seem to change the title of the thread, but meant to have it say "How would you rank the conferences as of today"
To be honest, I don't usually get caught up in such things. I did find this interesting and I encourage everyone to take this with a grain of salt and I definitely don't think these numbers tell the whole story. However, I looked at each conference and their ranked teams and here's how it broke down.
Big East: 2 ranked teams, average rank of 3
ACC: 5 ranked teams, average rank of 15
Big 10: 4 ranked teams, average rank of 10
Big 12: 4 ranked teams, average rank of 13
SEC: 3 ranked teams, average rank of 16
Pac-12: 1 ranked team, average rank 13
This surprised me because I have always assumed the B10 was terrible this year. Perhaps it's not as bad as I had perceived. SEC doesn't look to be as strong as some have suggested. Big East is incredibly top heavy.
Rankings don't tell the entire story. I'm sure the SEC is probably stronger from the middle down than the B10 this year, but when we talk about how good/bad conferences are each year, I think we get a little carried away at how extreme we say these differences are sometimes.
