Conferences & Divisions
I gave each conference or division (ACC, Big XII, and SEC divisions only) a score based on three points for a top 10 team, 2 points for a team ranked 11-25, and 1 point for a team ranked 26-40. The sheer number of top 40 teams is also indicated. Score/tm is the conference's or division's total score divided by number of teams. I also indicated percent of teams in a group that are in the top 25 and top 40, respectively. They are sorted by score, and ties are broken by percentage in the top 40. No Sun Belt teams are in the top 40, although Troy is #42.
