The top5 rated Sagarin Conferences are a combined 11-1. The rest are a combined 5-15. So what does this mean? In my book, the major conferences are dominating and the high/mid-majors are not exactly stating their case for being at the dance. Think about it - what if you had FSU or UVA in place of..... oh I don't know.......Air Force, or Liberty, or any of the many teams that they could beat most nights. Bottom line - the best 64 teams are not at the dance. Yes, this may give the mid-majors some fun, but most just cannot compete with the majors. But hey, I guess that's life - at least it's tons better than the crappy football system.
