[QUOTE="jncuse, post: 5579939, member: 1969"]
So I updated the results from the last few days.    Big East is #5 by a decent mark so we can leave them out of the discussion.

Its not-straightforward assessing the top 4.   My conclusion is it could be a fairly even distribution amongst the 4, which will be far better than prior years,
[LIST]
[*]The clear two best in Margin (adjusted for schedule) are still the SEC and the ACC, because of Q4 games (which are still about 60% of your games).  And that drives NET.  Big 12 is worse in margin.  SEC 9.30, ACC 9.01, B10 8.33, B12 7.76, BE 6.59.   These could move, but it would take a lot of bad play by the ACC to get down to 4.   
[*]The clear top two in head to head and top game W/L performance is still clearly the other two conferences.  
[/LIST]
Big 12 ; 25-15
Big 10: 22-15
ACC: 15-16
SEC: 12-21

I'll put it this way:
From individual team resumes perspective, looking at purely OOC W's and L's the B10 and B12 will benefit the most.   ACC members are meh in this regard.

BUT, OOC drives the quality of your opponents in conference play (the NET factor).   So this could help the ACC gets as many quality wins as other conferences.
