The ranking takes into account the factors that television executives are looking for: brand value, market size and general success.
FootballScoop’s exercise took every team in the nation and power-ranked them based on if conferences were disbanded immediately and built from scratch.

This list will be interesting to revisit if conference expansion continues in the next few years — notably with the ACC’s current struggles.
