It will change as the season progresses, but right now this is the ranking among conferences according to Sagarin:
Big Ten
Big 12
Big East
ACC
SEC
Pac-12
Amer Athletic
Atlantic 10
With the big money football conferences gobbling up everything in sight, the question remains to be answered as to who are the power conferences any more. Obviously Big Ten, Big 12, ACC, SEC and Pac-12 have to be included. Can the American Athletic (the old Big East) be thrown in there? Probably not, because they never really were a power football conference anyway, and are even weaker now.
Do you include the new Big East? Remember that none of those schools has football, so they do not have any of the vast wealth that ESPN throws their direction. Yet they are currently ahead of three of the money conferences. Interesting question.
