Your boy Sagarin.

CONFERENCE CENTRAL MEAN SIMPLE AVERAGE TEAMS

1 PAC-10 (A) = 79.37 79.10 ( 1) 10
2 SOUTHEASTERN (A) = 77.92 77.83 ( 2) 12
3 I-A INDEPENDENTS (A) = 77.08 76.01 ( 4) 3
4 BIG TEN (A) = 76.57 77.07 ( 3) 11
5 BIG 12 (A) = 74.58 74.86 ( 5) 12
6 BIG EAST (A) = 74.37 74.81 ( 6) 8
7 ATLANTIC COAST (A) = 72.79 71.67 ( 7) 12
8 MOUNTAIN WEST (A) = 68.91 68.50 ( 8) 9
9 CONFERENCE USA (A) = 65.37 66.30 ( 9) 12
10 WESTERN ATHLETIC (A) = 64.02 65.02 ( 10) 9

Tell me how it is overrated? I live in Big XII country and am the first to admit that their conference is a joke and you are trying to compare the rest of Tennessee's schedule with Texas', that seems strange. I don't think it is close.
