College Football Conference Power Rankings

I base my conference power rankings off these factors:
1.) Quality Depth-How many GOOD teams does the conference have?
2.) Quality Strength-How do their best teams stack up with the best teams from the other conferences?
3.) Overall Depth-How many teams do they have that are at least mediocre?

With all that said, let's get to it.
1.) ACC-What?!?!?!The ACC is the best football conference in America? The answer is: in 2009, absolutely yes! The ACC has the most teams in the current Top 25 with 5(Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Clemson, Miami(Fl), and North Carolina). They are strong at the top with 3 top 15 teams which is tied with the Big Ten for the most in the country. They also have good depth with 7 bowl teams which is only trumped by the Big 12 and SEC. Even their bad teams have won big nonconference games. NC State(1-6 in the ACC)handed #9 Pitt their only loss. Wake Forest(2-5 in the ACC)beat Stanford, who drummed Oregon and USC this year. Florida State(4-4 in the ACC)beat the living snot out of #19 BYU in Provo.
2.) Pac-10-The Pac-10 only trails the ACC with 4 teams in the Top 25. The Pac-10 would also argue that they should have a 5th ranked team as Stanford dropped out of the polls after losing to ranked Cal this past weekend, despite hammering #9 Oregon and #20 USC in consecutive weeks previously. The Pac-10 boasts good depth with 7 bowl teams, which is tied with the ACC for 3rd most of any conference. The Pac-10 is very similar in its resume to the ACC in its argument to be the best conference in the land. However, there are 2 reasons why I give the ACC the edge. The ACC is stronger at the very top with 2 or 3 top 15 teams based on what poll you're looking at while the Pac-10 has just one top 15 team in both polls. Also, ACC bottom dweller Wake Forest defeated Stanford, one of the best in the Pac-10.
3.) SEC-Most would argue that the SEC deserves to be number 1. However, those people base their opinion based more off of reputation more than what's actually happening on the field. Reputation has even earned the SEC a 4th ranked team that doesn't deserve to be ranked. The team that I'm talking about is the LSU Tigers. LSU is ranked #17 despite not having any top 25 wins. The Bayou Bengals' best two wins have come at UGA(with the help of the referees who were later suspended for poor officiating)who is mediocre at best and at home against Auburn who is just slightly better than mediocre. They barely beat Louisiana Tech at home(in fact, they trailed at halftime)and this team just doesn't deserve to be ranked. So the way I see it, the SEC has 3 ranked teams(Florida, Alabama, and Ole Miss). And that lack of quality depth is the reason why the conference with the teams ranked #1 and #2 and the conference that has the most bowl eligible teams(9) of any conference is the only the 3rd best conference in America.
4.) Big Ten-The Big Ten(though Big Eleven would be more accurate)is once again solid, but not good enough to be the best. It has 3 ranked teams(Ohio State, Iowa, Penn State)that are all in the top 15. It also has 7 bowl eligible teams. Their resume puts them in at 4th in the conference rankings which isn't bad at all but still isn't the best.
5.) Big 12-The Big 12 has the team that I consider the best in the country in the Texas Longhorns, along with another top 15 team in Oklahoma State. However, those are the only 2 ranked teams in the conference and in fact, the only win against a ranked opponent for the conference this season was when the Longhorns clobbered the Cowboys in Stillwater. The Big 12 also has Nebraska whose defense, led by darkhorse Heisman candidate DT Ndamukong Suh and fellow DT Jared Crick(who had 5 sacks in one game!), has allowed more than 17 points just once this season. This conference has 8 bowl teams(2nd only to the SEC) and the best team in the country, but lack of quality depth relegates the Big 12 to the 5th spot in the rankings.
6.) Big East-Obviously, this isn't a fair comparison as the Big East has a mere 8 teams which is 2 fewer than any other conference(isn't it ironic that the conference with by far the most teams in basketball has by far the least in football?)but the Big East is going to finish with the fewest bowl teams of any BCS conference(6). The Big East does have 2 ranked teams(Cincinnati and Pittsburgh) and in fact, both teams are in the top 10 but the conference lacks quality depth and depth overall which is why they're number six.
7.) Mountain West
8.) Conference-USA
9.) MAC
10.) WAC
11.) Sun Belt
