for the inevitable complaints in March about which conferences get how many teams in.

In summary the SEC dominated and now 15/16 teams are in the top 54 so every conference game will be a quality game essentially. The ACC is clearly the 5th and the other 3 will battle it out to see how their non-conf SOS shakes out in the next few months.

Big 12 still has 9 teams in the top 50 so we'll have plenty of tough ones! But the Q1 win total and win % chasm between the SEC and all others all but ensures they are the top conference this season.



Overall Win %
SEC - 88.5%
Big 10 - 80%
Big 12 - 76%
Big East - 69.4%
ACC - 65%
