For a good portion of this college football season, the Big Ten laid claim to being the most dominant conference in the sport with four teams at one point in the top 10 of the USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll. The natural winnowing of the regular season has produced greater parity in the poll over the last few weeks, but the Big Ten are still leading strongly among the rest of college football’s top programs.
Four Big Ten programs are ranked in the top half of the poll, more than any other conference.
The SEC has three top 10 teams, no surprise there, with No. 1 Georgia and No. 2 Alabama leading the way. Ole Miss, at eighth, holds steady on the weekend.
The Big 12 has two top 10 teams with No. 5 Oklahoma State and No. 8 Baylor. The Pac-12 has just No. 10 Oregon in the top 10. The ACC doesn’t have a team ranked until No. 15 Pittsburgh (up two spots).
