Observations:

As I predicted, things have changed when looking over a shorter period of time. The SEC is still strong with .500 or better records head-to-head against everyone except the PAC 10. The Big 10 is much stronger latter half of the last 20 years. Interestingly, the addition of Florida State does not appear to have had the desired affect of making the ACC a better football conference. If anything it may have made recruiting harder for many of the teams in the ACC. That is probably a factor in the ACC's going after Miami.

My conference rankings for the last 10 years, based on this data:
  1. SEC
  2. Big Ten
  3. Big XII
  4. ACC
  5. PAC 10
  6. Big East
