How would you rank the 11 conferences in D-1A Football? And why? 1) Big 12 - No team in the Big 12 is ever out of a game with their offenses, and their defenses only need to show until they have a 2 TD lead 2) MWC - Obviously the bottom of the MountainWest is as low as they get; but BYU, Utah and TCU are good teams. Wyoming beat UT. 3) SEC - They're a close 2nd, but a lower MWC team (Wyoming) beat Tenn, LSU had a hard time beating Auburn and Troy, Auburn had a hard time beating UT Martin and lost to WVU, UGa had a hard time putting away Auburn and was rather unimpressive against Ariz State. 4) BigTen - Ohio State and Penn State are good. Michigan State is mediocre. The rest of the conference just descends from there. 5) ACC - At least it's competitive 6) Pac-10 - USC and Oregon State carry the rest of the conference. Cal can make a surprise from time-to-time 7) MAC - Ball State, Central Michigan and Western Michigan con compete in most conferences (not win, but go .500). Toledo has to get some props for beating Michigan 8) WAC - Fresno beat Rutgers and Boise is still undefeated. Gotta give credit where it's due. 9) BigEast - Pitt and WVU have talent, but there's really not a good team in the conference 10) Sun Belt - Troy played LSU and Ohio State, Mid Tenn State beat Maryland, FIU isn't the worst team in the country anymore 11) C-USA - East Carolina was fun for two weeks. Tulsa has showed their true colors.... Read More »
