guys, you have to read the question. He is asking what the most underrated college football conference is not what conferences need to improve the most. The obvious answer is the SEC. They are so far ahead of the rest of the country it is not funny and they are not recognized for the game they play. LSU should have never had to split with USC. We have the toughest schedules in the nation. No one comes to the SEC for a homecoming opponent even though we have Vanderbilt, a team that stays in the basement of the SEC but is never bad enough to become homecoming fodder for these silly northern and western conferences. You know FSU and Miami both could have joined the SEC but they did not because they did not want to be just another team in the SEC.

No if you think about it you will realise that the ACC, SOUTHERN, ND (they think they are a conference), Mountain West, MAC, Ivey, and all the other pretenders are over rated and not under rated! They are over rated because the media needs something to talk about.

Go VOLs, beat Bamma

You're very wrong. The SEC is nationally recognized as one of the top conferences in the nation, maybe even the top.

You're correct that LSU and USC shouldn't have split the national title, but for the wrong reasons.

That's kind of funny, because along with the Big XII, I consider the SEC to be vastly overrated this year. Tennessee struggled to beat Alabama-Birmingham, Auburn lost at home to Georgia Tech, and South Carolina struggled at home to beat Central Florida.

The reason that I listed the ACC as the most underrated is that they've been 1st or 2nd in cumulative power ratings for the past couple of seasons, yet you almost never hear them mentioned as an elite football conference.

In the first week of this season, unranked Clemson beat 17th ranked Texas A&M, and unranked Georgia Tech beat 16th ranked Auburn. Both Clemson and Georgia Tech are middle echelon ACC teams.

1)Preseason rankings mean absolutely NOTHING so I could care less if some unranked team beat a ranked team. All it shows is the ranked team isn't as good as some idiot voters voted them as. I mean come one, 13 morons picked Tennessee #1 over USC for christ sakes!!!

2)This thread is outright gay because all it's going to do is show which conference your allegiance is to. Naturally, everyone's going to say their conference is underrated and give some lame reason why.
