I've decided to take my rankings of each time period, add them up and then figure out which is the best. I haven't done this until now so I'm not really sure how it will turn out. I also did all of my rankings above on each part of the data individually, not as a whole.

Rankings:
  1. ACC (14pts)
  2. Big Ten (13pts)
  3. SEC (13 pts)
  4. Pacific 10 (10pts)
  5. Big XII (9pts)
  6. Big East (4pts)

I used the entire conference rankings for the last 20 years, 10 years, and 5 years and then gave each place points, i.e. 1st place=6 pts, 2nd place=5 pts, etc.

In order to break the tie between the Big Ten and the SEC I used the past 5 years, conference top 6 against conference top 6 rankings.

I will for a final time point out sample size as I'm not sure any of the rankings over the last 5 years are really valid, but for the sake of arguement I have included them.
