Big Ten's problem is the bottom tier - Rutgers, Illinois, Maryland, Indiana and Purdue. (actually Purdue is somewhat formidable this season, Indiana has been competitive in their games and Maryland is down to a 4th string AB). Plus Nebraska is not Nebraska anymore. But the top 8 or 9 are very solid and capable. Since were not the Big 14 I guess we really only need 10 teams to be good from year to year.

I don't know Doc, when you're losing 60% of your Bowl games, I think it's not just the teams at the bottom that are the problem. This is data since the BCS era started. The B1G went through some pretty bad years. I think they're much better, overall now. But, for quite awhile, it was OSU, and NO ONE else.

The ACC was pretty bad in the '00s as well. The SEC dominated the BCS years in ways that will probably never be seen again....for a few years, the strength of the SEC West was amazing. It's definitely dwindled because of the coaching carousel

I think the only thing that has changed for Clemson is margin for error. Sagarin has Clemson 4th. With a win against GT (Dabo's first win as HC), he will tie Frank Howard and Danny Ford with 96 ACC wins. He will be 96-29, Ford's record as well (Ford had 4 ties ).
Howard, Ford and Dabo are all Alabama boys.
Laughing, that is pretty cool.

Here are the records of each conference which includes FBS games with P5 match-ups parenthesis Pac-12: 19-7 (6 - 2 vs P5) Big 10: 29-10 (7 - 5 vs P5) SEC: 21-7 (5 - 6 vs P5) ACC: 20-11 (5 - 8 vs P5) Big 12: 14-9 (4 - 6 vs P5) The PAC 12 looks to be the odd conference out but if it is a battle of 1 loss teams the P12 might have an edge especially if it is USC. I do think UW and WSU really hurt themselves with their schedule and will pay for it if they go up against another one loss team. If Oklahoma wins out they will be sitting pretty but TCU will need to win out or they will have the same issues as UW and WSU if they are up against another 1 loss team. In the BCS.CFP mythical era the P12 edges out the SEC in winning % vs other, so called, P5 leagues (.550 vs .549). Perception driven fans and those that buy the ESPN SEC hype probably have no clue about this fact. 0.001 Somebody ought to write a song about it.

I think that's good stuff. I prefer facts over perceptions and hype...probably why I wish FBS had a playoff. James Howell used to post weekly data like that round here and I miss it.
