These are my Rankings for the I-A Conferences
BCS
1.Big 10(They put 8 teams in Bowls this year, And they have had great conference play all year, the OSU-Michigan Game was really great this year...No one is closer to being the perfect conference than the Big 10, and with talks of Notre Dame Joining, the Big 10 will only get better.)
2.SEC-( A fairly Balanced Conference, i'm putting them Number 2 because the team won the BCS Championship Game, LSU put it to OU early and congrats to them for holding strong and winning...Many of the Best Players, Rivalries, Coaches, and Fans come from the South, the SEC is always a top 3 Conference.)
3.Big 12-(I wish that OU had won, so i could have put the SEC below the Big 12, but it was a good game at the end anyways...the Big 12, put 2 teams in the BCS, and it would have been nice to see Texas in one of those games as well, But the Southwest is a great place for Talent, Especially in Texas and LA, if Colorado had been Bowl Elidgible, the Big 12 would have gotten my #2 pick.)
4.Pac-10-(This is no East Coast Bias, but the PAC-10 is not as good as the SEC or Big12, and it doesn't come close to the Big 10, The Rivalries are good, especially the California Schools, But The Conference Strength isn't there as much...Arizona drug the Conference down on the field, and Washington Drug the Conference Down off the field, then all the "West Coast" bias the Pac-10 has been shouting really only makes people more aware of they problems of the PAC-10.)
5.ACC- (This was a dissapointing year for the ACC, a bad year for NC State, higher expectations from Virginia and Wake Forest, and anytime North Carolina Loses to Duke, it was a strange year for this Conference. But since they will be getting the 3 best teams in the Big East, I have to put them over The Big East.)
6.Big East-(Still the Smallest of the Bunch, but still great play from the Big East, Great win over FSU in the Orange Bowl for Miami, Aside from Temple, The Big East did a good job as far as Balance in the Conference, too bad they're losing Miami, BC, and VT. VT had a dissappointing year as well, making it a number 6 slot for the Big East.)
non-BCS
7.MAC-(The Best Mid-Major Conference this year, they are they most regional Conference, they play great football, and they beat a bunch of BCS Schools, It's just a shame that they only get 2 Bowl Tie-ins, there were 3 other good teams in the MAC that deserved to be in a Bowl(i.e. Northern Illinois, Marshall, Toledo, Akron))
8.WAC-(3-1 in Bowl Games this year, with the exception of SMU and UTEP, a really good Conference, Boise State is one of the most underrated Teams in the Country, and with the losses of the dead weight to Conference USA, and with them adding NMSU and Utah State, The WAC will be a great Regional Conference, Hopefully they will Lose Louisiana Tech and Add Idaho for another Regional Matchup.)
9.MWC-(most Balanced Conference, Didn't make much noise out of conference, the only shining star was Utah, the rest of the Conference was okay, but with a bad year from BYU, It's a hard situation for the Mountain West, they're a very spread out Conference, and the area they cover, already is overshadowed by teams from they Big 12 and Pac 10...This Conference still plays good football, and will continue to get better, probably the best Candidate for BCS inclusion if they added a few Western Schools.)
10.C-USA-(After TCU almost making it to the BCS, to TCU deciding to stay home in the Fort Worth Bowl because of "exams", Conference USA could didn't do that well overall, and now they're losing 3 of their better teams to the Big East. TCU was the one of the most overrated teams this year. combined with ECU and Army to equal 1 win and 24 losses, and the fact that if Memphis hadn't beaten North TX, Conference USA wouldn't have won a Bowl Game this year....This was a terrible year for Conference USA.)
11.Sun Belt-(The only "good" team in the SBC this year lost it's only Bowl, so that definitely puts them at the bottom, and the fact that no one else had more than 5 wins also makes this a dissappointing year for the SBC.)
I hope you enjoyed reading this, i am just letting off the last bit of steam of this roller coaster of a season in College Football.
Oh and if you want to know this is my pick for the top 3 teams...
1.LSU-(they beat OU fair and square, and they deserve to be #1, the BCS works, but it needs a little revision.)
2.Oklahoma-(The Sooners are one of the most Dominant Football teams in history, if Oklahoma played the 1st half like they played the 2nd half, and Jason White had gotten in a Rhythm in the beginning, This would have been a totally Different Ball Game. Next Year, we might see rematch with OU and LSU.)
3. USC-( USC is a GREAT Team, they had a Great Year, but...They're Schedule was not a strong as LSU or OU, add the fact that they lost in Overtime to an Unranked opponent in Cal...USC shouldn't be number 1 in the Human Polls, You have to look at the season the team has...and you'll see that USC played a weaker schedule than LSU, and the SEC Championship Game didn't even matter, LSU had already beaten Georgia, so you can take that win away, and you'd still have a better team in LSU than USC...if LSU and USC played, LSU would kill USC...
Thanks
