College Football 2012 Rankings: SEC Still King of BCS
Every Tuesday about this time I'm going to be ranking your conferences. During the offseason that is going to take a little creativity as we will be looking at the leagues from a myriad of different angles. To kickoff this staple we'll go straight up and down on it by ranking your six BCS leagues for the spring.
Coming out of the chute here at Your Best 11 and that means we need to set the tone for these conference rankings. First and foremost, these are spring rankings for the leagues. They are not last year's rankings. They're not projected season finishes or how the bowls will go rankings. These are, simply put, where the leagues rank going into spring.
Now as far as ranking system goes there is one thing that must be stated outright; you get bonus points for being really good. That's right, teams that are elite get bonus points. Those bonus points help their league. Those leagues move up higher. On the flipside, I am not about giving "credit" for a gang of average teams. When your league's selling point is "everybody can beat everybody" that is not a conference I'm buying. Unless all the teams are really good. Except where parody is concerned, that never happens.
