P5 Conference Strength

Massey’s CFB composite, a composite of 60+ rating systems, offers the following list of P5 conference relative strength (highest rated team and number of schools in top 25 in parenthesis).

1. SEC (1-Alabama; 5)
2. Big Ten (3-Michigan; 7)
3. Big 12 (7-Oklahoma State; 3)
4. ACC (11-Pittsburgh; 4)
5. Pac-12 (12-Utah; 2)

Note: The Pac-12 continues to be shown to be closer in strength to the MW and AAC than it is to the other P5 conferences.
