4. The bottom is weak

I know people want to talk about the ACC and how bad it was this year, but at least the conference isn’t absolutely bottoming out like the Big Ten- and other Power-5 conferences, as well.

The Big Ten has teams like Maryland (3-9), Rutgers (2-10), Purdue (4-8) and Northwestern (3-9) rounding out its bottom half. Even middle of the road teams like Nebraska (5-7), Illinois (6-6) and Michigan State (4-5) aren’t impressive.

While the conference may have some solid teams at the top, there’s certainly no depth and that bottom is as bad as any conference in the country, including the ACC.
