What will be the most competive conference to play in on NCAA 2005

[jk5911]

Arkansas beat Missouri in the Independence Bowl last year and no one even mentions them as an upper tier team. The SEC is much deeper than the Big 12.

I believe arkansas is a really really good team...an upper teir team, but in my opinion the middle and bottom teams of the sec are slightly weaker than the big 12...kentucky,vandy,miss st are weaker than baylor,kansas,and iowa state. The top of these conferences are to close to call but again IMO from top to bottom the Big 12 is slightly stronger.

Big 10:

Michigan
Minnesota
Ohio State
Iowa
Michigan St.
Wisconsin
Purdue

the rest of the team are usually below .500%

and the rest are only 3 other teams.

Big Ten all the way

Tough to say since no one has played a down yet. But I don't see any other conference being deeper than the ACC or SEC at this point. Lots of legit teams in both those leagues.

Big 12 and Big 10 will once again be overrated.

Miami
FSU
UVA
VT
Maryland
NC St
GT
Clemson

(all can play and beat anyteam in the country)

then u got Wake Forrest who could be up there

only slouches in this conferences are UNC and Duke

that's 8 teams deep, not 4 like the Big Ten (Wisonsin, Michigan, OSU, i'll throw Purdue in there) or 5 like the Big XII (Texas, OU, Neb, Mizzou, K-State) or 5 like the SEC (UT, UF, Georgia, Auburn, Alabama) the ACC is 8 deep... i probably left a team off those conferences, those are the good teams off the top of my head.

Couldn't agree more. Although take Nebraska off of the list for the Big 12, they are no longer the National Power they were before.
