Now that pretty much all the dust has settled and smoke has cleared on the 2015 season, I think its clear that the best conference in America this season is
the Big 10.
Yeah, I said it.
For one thing, I dont think there is a top 4 that compares with the top 4 of the Big 10. From what I have seen, Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State could play with anybody, or most anybody. You have a pretty good argument when right off the bat a team that isnt playing for a conference title is possibly the best team in America. Dont kid yourselves. Whoever you think is the best team in the country, that team is happy Ohio State wont be around.
In addition, Northwestern and Wisconsin are solid football teams.
The two best teams in the ACC are 1-1 vs. South Carolina with a point differential of (+1).
In the SEC, youd have an argument as to who the top 4 even are, but Florida has to probably rank at #2 by default. Ole Miss is probably in that top 4 as well. Both were spanked in non-conference play by Memphis and FSU respectively.
The Big 12 has an argument with quality at the top with TCU, Baylor, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State. However, its more top heavy than the Big 10 and defense is optional.
As the year has played out and considering what leagues did also stepping out of the conference, I think the Big 10 had the best year.
