The Big East will be the best in terms of top to bottom.

The conference with the best teams at the top will be the Big 12 (Kansas, Texas, Texas A&M, Baylor, OK State, and Oklahoma will all be good)

The way I see it:
1. Big East- Won't have dominant teams like last year, but very balanced.
2. Big 12- Very top heavy, but the top is goooooood
3. Big 10- MSU will be the real deal. Conference proved to be strronger than expected and will still have good teams in Wisconsin, Ohio State, Illinois, Michigan, Purdue, and Penn State. Improved drastically from last year.
4. ACC- Won't be nearly as good as last year.
5. SEC- UK, MissState, Tennessee, and LSU should be good, improved over last year.
6. Pac 10- Washington, UCLA, Arizona, Washington State, and Cal will all be pretty good, about even to last year. The bottom of the conference will be weak and USC and Arizona State will fall off.

Last year the ACC and Big East were clearly the best conferences... this year the gap has closed substantially.

how???
