Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 2962086, member: 6927"] This type of amalgamated data can be very misleading and has to be viewed with caution. In this case the conference records vs. top 25 teams are greatly skewed depending on (among other things) which teams are playing top-25 competition and which ones aren't. If it's mostly the stronger teams going up against top-25 opponents, that'll skew this record upward; if it's the bottom-feeders taking their lickings, it'll skew downward. In the case of the ACC, how many of the non-ranked teams are testing themselves against ranked teams? It's worth noting that the Massey conference rankings are currently as follows: [LIST=1] [*]Pac-12 (2.05) [*]ACC (1.98) [*]Big 12 (1.94) [*]Big Ten (1.94) [*]SEC (1.87) [*]Big East (1.81) [*]AAC (1.64) [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
