The Acc Is Tops!

This from a fan who is ecstatic that the "U" has once again cracked the top 25 in football for the first time in nearly two seasons.

I was recently asked which conference is the best conference in college football. While it probably comes down to who you play inside and outside of your conference the answer after checking on the current college football and standings and the top 25 rankings the answer I have come up with is the ACC! Below I have a break down of all the major college conferences for college football and while some teams have incredible records and a ranked higher than some the Acc is the most balance of all the conferences.

ACC has 12 teams. Big Ten has 11. Sec has 12 teams as does the Big 12.

The ACC has 8 teams over .500 (Miami, Maryland, Ga. Tech, Fsu, Wake, Bc, Unc, and Va. Tech.) with two teams at .500 (Virginia., and Clemson) and two under.500 (Duke, and NC State). So basically ten teams at .500 or better.

The Big ten has 7 teams over .500 (Psu, Osu, Msu, Iowa, Nu, Minn. And Wisconsin.) and 4 teams under .500 (Illinois, Purdue, Iu and Mich.) Basically 7 teams at .500 or better which is equal to the big 12.

As a matter of fact the Sec has the same amount of winning teams as the Acc but more teams under .500 than the Acc. The only thing that makes the Sec better is that they have two undefeated teams.

The thing that makes things somewhat even between the Big Ten and Acc is that the ACC has more 3 loss teams. While the ACC Championship game is not as hallowed as the other conferences that have conference championship games like the Big 12 and the SEC it is likely that the ACC will possibly have more bowl eligible teams than any other conference.
