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:
- ACC (14pts)
- Big Ten (13pts)
- SEC (13 pts)
- Pacific 10 (10pts)
- Big XII (9pts)
- 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.
