Alphabetical order. ACC, Big 10, Big 12, etc.

Do you think that's a reasonable indication of how good a conference is?

It's one metric, but probably not the best. My point was to show that week in week out the MWC conf schedule is very weak.

The problem is you are basing this off of the Santos power ranking which in all honesty is ridiculous.

And you'll find New Mexico, Wyoming, et al ranked a lot higher in other polls?

For the BCS conferences - is this the #5-#8, or is it the bottom 4 of those conferences?
