Sagarin ratings, central mean, top 4 avg, bottom 3
SEC 84.1, 92.9, 73.5
B10 80.2, 88.5, 68.7
B12 76.9, 84.0, 69.8
ACC 74.4, 85.6, 62.8
According to this, SEC is the best conference top to bottom. They also spend more money top to bottom in NIL. The source I used says their bottom 3 spend 25m each. B10 bottom 3 spend 20m.
ACC is very top heavy and very bottom heavy, although their bottom 3 spend as much as the B10 bottom 3. Maybe GTech, Cal, and Stanford are just poorly run programs. (side note: playing Cal really hurts our SOS. They suck hard. They and Stanford are by far the worst Power 4 teams in the Sagarin ratings.)
