Huge Sooner fan, but the big 12 was just not good this year...so here is my list kdogg

1. SEC
2. ACC (due to bowl season)
3. PAC 10
4. MAC
5. big 12


Still not convinced by Scott's messages that this conference isn't the toughest from top to bottom...just impressive to me that LSU got thru that test with only one loss...and beat Georgia twice....just my opinion.

Come on Scott, where is your love for the MAC :)


I say the MAC was the most underrated conference the last couple of years.

I'd probably go:


1. SEC
2. ACC
3. Big 10
4. Pac 10
5. MAC


I don't respect the big 12 as a whole. The conference as a whole is a joke in my opinion.

Off the Top of my head:

1) SEC
2) ACC
3) Pac Ten
4) Big Ten
5) Big East - Giving Miami there due.

Honorable mention to Mountain West, wanted to put them at five but they couldn't match the firepower of Miami at the top.

THERE IS NO WAY ANYBODY COULD HAVE THE MAC AS A TOP 5 CONFERENCE :nono:

On top of that, you both put the MAC ahead of the Big 10? :shrug:

Top 3 teams in the MAC
Miami Ohio
Bowling Green
Northern Illinois

Top 3 teams in the Big 10
Michigan
Ohio St.
Iowa

3 worst teams in the MAC
Eastern Michigan
Ohio U.
Buffalo

3 worst teams in the Big 10
Penn St.
Illinois
Indiana

Big 10 has every advantage if you compare 1st vs 1st and worst vs worst. Am I right? I think I am right.

Lets see the average SOS...
Big 10: 34
MAC: 88 :nooo:

GIVE ME A BREAK. What criteria did you guys use for saying the MAC is better than the Big 10?

I know the top 3 MAC teams had succuss this year. Congrats to them. However, you are showing extreme disrespect to the Big 10 conference.

Mr Hockey

You think the MAC is better than the Big 12? Big East? What are you smoking?

THIS IS TO EVERYONE HERE

I would argue that these 3 conferences are better than the MAC.
BIG EAST
MOUNTAIN WEST
CONFERENCE USA

When your ranking your top 5 conferences, you have to look from top to bottom. I think many of you fail to do this. A conference = TOP to BOTTOM. Do not just look at the top 3 teams and their succuss. There is no way the MAC is better than the 6 BCS conferences. NO WAY! If you think so, i would "LOVE" to read why. I just showed how silly it was to put the MAC ahead of the BIG 10. I can do the same with Big 12 and Big East. Come on people, think before you type. I know everyone likes to cheer for the smaller conferences, but that does not mean they are better.

Now if this thread was about ranking each conference by just using the top 3 teams, then you "might" have an argument for putting MAC in the top 5.

Last thing for all of you to look at. Here are the top 3 teams in the MAC and their SOS. I think you will be shocked how embarrassing these SOS are. No wonder they racked up so many wins and blowing out their opponents.

Miami Ohio 72
Bowling Greeen 79
Northern Illinois 114

Yeah, lets make this a top 5 conference in college football. Get real.

I respect the MAC as they have some quality teams that alot of bigger names don't want to face on the road. The MAC has made major strides compared to most conferences. I don't feel anyone can argue that. Look at some of the quality teams the MAC has beaten over the last few years:


Louisville
Cincinnati
Colorado State
Northwestern
Kansas State
BYU
Clemson
Purdue
Missouri
Alabama
Maryland
Pittsburgh
Minnesota
Penn State
Iowa


The list above is just some of the teams the conference has defeated in the last 5 years. They have defeated teams from major conferences such as the ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, SEC as well as some bigger mid major conferences like Conference USA & the Mountain West. They did these things with much less talent & resources then the big boys have to play with & this is a fact. I respect this conference for not being afraid to play anyone at any place & I won't let the biased views of anyone else convince me otherwise.

THERE IS NO WAY ANYBODY COULD HAVE THE MAC AS A TOP 5 CONFERENCE! :nono:

This poll and madjack forum are complete "idiots" to have the MAC ranked ahead of the Big East conference. 7pts to the MAC vs 1 pt for the Big East. :nooo: In addition, anybody who ranks the MAC as a top 5 strongest conference obviously has very limited football intelligence. I will prove why. These are the 4 posters who had the MAC ahead of the BIG EAST CONFERENCE... :nono:

The MAC is a better conference than the Big East? :confused:

Top 3 teams in the MAC
Miami Ohio
Bowling Green
Northern Illinois

Top 3 teams in the Big East
Miami-Florida
Virginia Tech
Pittsburgh/West Virginia/Boston College

3 worst teams in the MAC
Eastern Michigan
Ohio U.
Buffalo

3 worst teams in the Big East
Syracuse
Rutgers
Temple

Big East has every advantage if you compare 1st vs 1st and worst vs worst. Am I right? I think I am right. :cool:

Lets see the average SOS...
Big 10: 54
MAC: 88 :nooo:

I know the top 3 MAC teams had succuss this year. Congrats to them. However, you are showing extreme disrespect to the Big East conference. Not to mention a lack of intelligence.

THIS IS TO EVERYONE HERE

Without question the BCS conferences are stronger than the MAC but I would argue that these 2 conferences are also better than the MAC.

MOUNTAIN WEST
CONFERENCE USA

When your ranking your top 5 conferences, you have to look from top to bottom. I think many of you fail to do this. A conference = TOP to BOTTOM. Do not just look at the top 3 teams and their succuss. There is no way the MAC is better than the 6 BCS conferences. NO WAY! If you think so, i would "LOVE" to read why. I just showed how silly it was to put the MAC ahead of the BIG 10 and Big East. I can do the same with Big 12 and prob. the M. West and Conf. USA. Come on people, think before you type. I know everyone likes to cheer for the smaller conferences, but that does not mean they are better.

I respect all your knowledge and I think you might be guilty of thinking with your heart instead of your head. The question was not which conference had the biggest turnaround. The question was "what were the top 5 conferences for the year 2003."

Last thing for all of you to look at who might be judging this conference based on the succuss of the top 3 teams. Here are the top 3 teams in the MAC and their SOS. I think you will be shocked how embarrassing these SOS are. No wonder they racked up so many wins and blowing out their opponents.

Miami Ohio 72
Bowling Greeen 79
Northern Illinois 114

Yeah, lets make this a top 5 conference in college football. Get real.

I would argue for Dr. Strangelove's opinion be thrown out. He oviously thinks this is the general forum and added nothing to this thread. I enjoy his posts in the general forum but he obviously is not awrare this is a college football forum/thread. On another note, you have a very nice looking gf Dr. Strangelove. Congratulations.

First off, many of thanks to you Scott for showing so much respect and calling us or me anyways an idiot. Nice respect. Second, the idea of this thread was to express an opinion on who each person felt like the top 5 conferences were. Not for me or anyone else to post an idea and then have "your" facts thrown at us trying to change our minds. Little disappointed Scott at that last post of yours. I'm done debating...I have better things to do than be tagged with "idiot".

Your right that was not really called for to use the word idiots but I was trying to get my point across. You should attack the info presented in front of you instead of me referring to you as an idiot. Prove to me your not an idiot for thinking the MAC is better than the BIG EAST and I will sincerely apologize for it. I was trying to imply that I think your an idiot if you think the MAC conference is better than the BIG EAST. I then supported my claim with excellent data to prove my point. I would be wrong to call you an idiot and have nothing to show for it. Prove me wrong and I will apologize or admit you were stupid for putting the MAC ahead of the Big East. Don't let me calling you an idiot as a scapegoat not to defend your post.

If someone makes an idiotic statement, I am going to call you out and tell you why. If someone admits their wrong doing, then they are not an idiot for making that idiotic statement. If you think your not an idiot, then tell me why you have the MAC ahead of the Big East. I do not think you have an argument therefore I used the word idiot. You may have one and prove me the idiot.

Do you understand? I am not going to let idiotic statements be made without calling it out. I am playing the bad cop. :D

it's called opinions dipsh*t!!!! last I heard it was a free country here in the US and we here at madjacks can say whatever we want, for the most part we don't need not f*cking stats to state what we want to say, unlike you who thinks the world is flat, the sky is falling, and santa claus is for real. so go keep playing with your barbies and G I Joe's, and let us say what we have to say. If you think we are so wrong than you can go somewhere else. You can do your little name calling and crying over everything, no matter what you say, we are all gonna stick with our opinion on it. but like jp says, im not gonna waste my time anymore on it....:thefinger

I agree calling people idiots was harsh but I am sorry, what do you call someone who thinks the MAC is a top 5 conference? Like it or not, I have supplied solid info that the MAC indeed is not a top 5 conference.

no matter what you say, we are all gonna stick with our opinion on it.

That is the definition of ignorance. Why not try and educate someone and explain why the MAC deserves to be ahead of the Big East, Big 10, Big 12 conferences. I have said why the MAC does not deserve to be in the top 6 and I did a very good job in backing up my statements. I am sorry if you are threatened by my knowledge.

I guess you would accept it if someone thought these were the top 5 conferences.

1. SUN BELT
2. MAC
3. Conference USA
4. MOUNTAIN WEST
5. WAC

I am sorry, i would not accept it and I would call that person out. I guess you do not require anyone to have any intelligence in sharing their opinion. I DO! Nobody in their right mind could argue these as the top 5 conferences in football. I simply challenged anyone to tell me why the MAC deserves to be in the top 5. As of now, everyone has stepped down from that challenge. I wonder why? I believe I have succussfuly proven that the MAC does not belong ahead of the BCS conferences. YES I was bold about it and I am sorry if I offended anyone. Instead of being offended, stand up for what you believe (mac being top 5) and prove me wrong and make me look like an idiot.

As for the name calling, I did not call anyone specifically an idiot. What I meant is if you still believe the MAC is a top 5 conference with the material i presented, and you have nothing to support your opinion with and counter my argument, then yes, you are an idiot for making that stupid statement.
