We've all discussed the improvement of the ACC this season and how stout it is. Thought I would try and start a conversation about overrated and underrated conferences amongst the biggest seven or eight leagues.
ACC - Very stout. 5 top 25, 9 top 50, 13 top 100, only 1 sub 150.
Big XII-ish - The best. 6 top 25, 7 top 50 (and TT at 52 for 8 of 10 teams in the top 52), and 1 sub 150.
B1G - OVERRATED. 4 top 25, but only those 4 in the top 50, only 8 top 100, 3 sub 150.
Big East - Solid, but not as good as last year. 2 top 10, 4 top 50, 7 top 100, 1 sub 150.
Pac-12 - UNDERRATED. 3 top 25 but 7 top 50 and 11 top 100.
SEC - Mediocre. 4 in the top 26, but no one else in the top 50. 5 teams at 88 or lower and 4 below 100.
I rank them as Big XII, ACC/Pac-12 in a tie for second (just different numbers of teams, but maybe a slight edge for the ACC's top end), Big East, B1G and SEC.
