the SEC looks like the deepest and best conference top to bottom. At the same time, as we saw throughout last season, the SEC is by no means a dominant conference the way it probably was for a few years a while back. The Big 12 looks stronger this year than last. The B1G-East is rapidly developing into a strong division. The ACC is improving all around, and I think it's only a matter of time until the ACC wins more often OOC against P5 schools. The Pac 12 might not be as strong this year as it has shown to be the past couple of years, but it is still strong and not the weakest of the p5 conferences by any stretch.
Coach Shaw at Stanford said last week, after Stanford beat USC, that there are no more upsets in college football. I won't go that far because if SU had won yesterday that would have been an upset, but I think I understand where Shaw is coming from. The talent at p5 schools is improving among the middle of the pack teams, and we are seeing more quality teams across the board. Rising to the top is very challenging for any team, and even the cream of the crop are frequently vulnerable. We may see a playoff this season where 3, or perhaps even all 4 of the teams in the playoff have at least one loss.
