ACC: Duke, Big East: Georgetown, Big 10: Northwestern/Purdue, Big 12:...Baylor?, Pac 10: Stanford, SEC: Bwhahahahahahaha. (nm) - musubi Jan 28, 12:10 6
- I'll still maintain Cal is better, but I'll join you in mocking the SEC - crash davis Jan 28, 12:15
- Georgetown isn't in the conference for BCS -- nm - prayformojo Jan 28, 12:12 2
  - Yeah, if Georgetown counts for the discussion, they're definitely the answer for the Big East. If they don't, it's Syracuse. -- nm - David Jan 28, 12:16
  - Oh my bad. I didn't realize we were only looking at football. I'll say....Pitt? (nm) - musubi Jan 28, 12:14
- *slap* -- nm - TFox Jan 28, 12:12
- Oh, Georgetown. I change my Big East answer, if we're doing basketball conferences. -- nm - nubby Jan 28, 12:12
Should we give the Big East a break and count their basketball schools too? -- nm - Dano Jan 28, 12:08
hmm, duke, vandy, ?, northwestern, kansas state, stanford -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 28, 12:06
ACC: Duke, SEC: Vandy, Big East: Syracuse(?), Big Ten: Northwestern, Big 12: Kansas(?), Pac 10: Stanford -- nm - nubby Jan 28, 12:04 5
- I agree with all of these except for the Big 12, which doesn't have a school that jumps off the page in this regard. -- nm - David Jan 28, 12:10
- I thought you were a physicist. - crash davis Jan 28, 12:05 3
  - Absolutely. -- nm - nubby Jan 28, 12:07 2
    - you bombmakers should show a little more loyalty to your own -- nm - crash davis Jan 28, 12:09 1
      - Well, it's close, but Stanford is definitely higher. Even in physics. -- nm - nubby Jan 28, 12:11
Big Ten: Northwestern. -- nm - Callisto Jan 28, 12:03 2
- ah, I forgot about Northwestern being in the Big 10 -- nm - crash davis Jan 28, 12:08 1
  - though Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin and Purdue are all solid, depending on your focus. -- nm - Callisto Jan 28, 12:12
none of the above -- nm - Beaker Jan 28, 12:02
Pac-10: Cal, SEC: Vanderbilt, not so sure about the others -- nm - crash davis Jan 28, 12:02 4
- I think Big 10 would be Michigan. I would have said Stanford for Pac 10. -- nm - Dano Jan 28, 12:03 3
  - Stanford is great, but here are a few facts about Cal - crash davis Jan 28, 12:08 2
    - Cal is a fine institution, but in terms of academic prestige, they're still second to Standford by a decent margin. (nm) - musubi Jan 28, 12:12 1
      - name me one thing that Stanford ever blew to kingdom come -- nm - crash davis Jan 28, 12:17
