The reason the SEC is ranked Higher than the Big 12 and Big East is b/c the top school in the SEC is ranked so much higher than the highest of Big 12, and the averages are very close, and even though the Big East has a high average, 4 of their top 5 schools aren’t even ranked giving us only 4 total to average from, and the highest ranking is only 50. Tempted to rank the Big 10 #1 b/c of FSU’s 112 ranking, but having 2 in the top 25 kept the ACC at #1.
