One other interesting thing. There is one conference that doesn't have a team ranked lower than 75th in our power rankings. Which conference is it? The ACC. At least in part dispelling the theory of how weak the conference is. Make no mistake - Virginia is horrible right now and they will probably fall past 100 soon. The only thing propping them up at this point is their strength of schedule. We'll write more about this soon, but it doesn't appear that the ACC is as weak as everyone thought. The ACCs "weakness" is that there is no dominant team or teams, but a bunch of middle of the road type teams that can beat anyone one week and lose to anyone the next. I'm not foolish enough to suggest that the ACC can hold a candle to the SEC, Big 12 or even the Big 10 to some extent, but I have no problem saying at this point the ACC is improving.
One final note: The ACC has two more games vs. the Big XII this week, which will go a long way in determining the true strength of the league - Florida State plays Colorado in Jacksonville and Virginia Tech goes to Nebraska.
- SEC 38.25
