Here’s a top-to-bottom for the ACC versus the B1G from its 2022 national university rankings. Multi-way ties are common in the ranking. Four-, six-and ten-way ties, for example. Notre Dame and Illinois are the only two sole holders of their ranking spots across the two conferences.

Duke and Northwestern are both 9th.

ND is 19th; Michigan is 23rd.

Virginia is 25th; Wisconsin is 42nd.

UNC is 28th; Illinois is 47th.

Wake is also 28th; tOSU is 49th.

BC is 36th; Purdue is also 49th.

Georgia Tech is 38th; Maryland is 59th.

FSU and Miami are tied for 55th; Penn St and Rutgers are tied for 63rd.

Syracuse and Pitt are tied for 59th; Indiana and Minnesota are tied for 68th.

Clemson and Va Tech are tied for 75th; Iowa and Michigan St are tied for 83rd.

NCSU is 79th; Nebraska is 136th.

And the 15th ACC school, Louisville, brings up the rear at 187th. But they do have superb athletic facilities.

So, net-net, US News calls the top school from each conference as equals, gives the ACC the nod for schools 2-14, and Louisville is an orphan in the comparison.
