I’ve never been a fan of ranking conferences in terms of strength for a couple of reasons. First, college football remains very cyclical. Before NIL and the transfer portal, teams would effectively refresh every 4-ish years. Since those 2 additions, that window is arguably smaller! Until the NCAA and/or conferences figure out a way to bring some order to the “wild west” nature of recruiting that we currently have, dynasty building is going to be hard. Not impossible, though. Players will still gravitate towards proven winners and top-notch facilities.
