Who Needs a Blogpoll: Championship Finale — let’s fight over arbitrary ordinal rankings!

Goodness, the Big 10 wound up stinking, didn’t it?

Season’s over folks. It’s been a long 14 weeks, but, as usual, it feels way too short. Anyway, now that we have 12-13 games in the books for everyone, it’s time to put it all together: who has impressed the most; who has done the most; whom did they beat (and whom did they beat;) who lost to whom (and who did they lose to); how how badly were they beaten; was there weird weather; what conferences turned out to be trash; what gloriously-shafted midmajors are secretly hell on wheels; who had mitigating injuries, tough breaks, and or their coaches let them down; who saw their talent blossom; who took the next step with young rosters; and so many other things that are hard to quantify on an ordinal scale.*

Yet, we still endeavor to do so.

Today at 10:00 Central, we’ll have our CFP Committee rankings show and open thread. For now, that fight is out of our hands. So, fight over these instead:

Final Conference Rankings:

  1. SEC
  2. ACC
  3. Big 12
  4. PAC 12
  5. Big 10
  6. AAC
  7. MWC
  8. CUSA
  9. Sunbelt
  10. MAC

And these...
