Final Conference RPI

01. SEC - 0.569683
02. Big East - 0.547906
03. Big 12 - 0.546513
04. Pac 10 - 0.543874
05. Big 10 - 0.536484
06. ACC - 0.520604
07. MWC - 0.495431
08. Independents - 0.44792
09. CUSA - 0.439678
10. WAC - 0.436244
11. Sun Belt - 0.431811
12. MAC - 0.426213

Not a lot of surprise as the SEC takes the top spot since LSU and Georgia are at the top of the rankings. The SEC had 6 teams in the top 25 of the final RPI, with 10 in the top 40. Surprisingly the Big East is ranked 2nd, helped largely by the small number of teams and West Virginia, Rutgers, and South Florida's big seasons. Not surprisingly the ACC is the lowest rated BCS conference after a HORRIBLE bowl season. The Sun Belt not being in last place has to be a victory for the conference that has long been the door mat of the rest of the nation. This should change some thoughts of those that think Big10 teams play tougher OOC schedules than SEC teams since they schedule MAC teams instead of Sun Belt teams.
