Um, yay I guess? That's pretty good, but I'm sure many of you would argue we should be higher.
Here is a breakdown by P5 conferences. If you accept their methodology, I think you have to put the Big Ten #1 and the Pac-12 #2. It's close, though. The Pac has more in the top 25 but the Big Ten has better balance from top to bottom. The ACC is a solid #3. SEC and Big 12 are atrocious and lag far behind. Predictably, Nebraska is bringing up the rear in the Big Ten. Surprisingly, ASU is right behind CU in the Pac-12. That flies in the face of the general perception around here.
Past the top 200, they just give a range instead of an exact rank.
