discernible difference in competition between being in the ACC or Big 10.

Since the ACC agreement, averaging Sagarin's conference rankings for each division as well as his central mean stat (Gives most weight to middle teams in the group and less weight to teams as you go away from the middle in either direction), results are from 2014 to current:

Big10 East: Conf Rank (4.00), Central Mean (77.71)
Big10 West: Conf Rank (7.33), Central Mean (74.91)
ACC Coastal: Conf Rank (6.83), Central Mean (75.08)
ACC Atlantic: Conf Rank (5.17), Central Mean (76.81)
