(Stats Perform) - In sports, bragging rights are sometimes embraced as much as the championships.
"Best conference" is one of the annual debates across FCS college football. Only three conferences generally vie for that mythical title, but the others demand lofty status as well. The difference between, say, a No. 5 or 6 ranking or 10 or 11 fires up people as well.
Many factors can go into such rankings, including Top 25 teams, nonconference results, playoff runs, even the eye test. It can be subjective at times, and sometimes that's half of the fun.
1. Missouri Valley Football Conference (11 teams)
2. Big Sky Conference (13 teams)
3. CAA Football (12 teams)
4. Southland Conference (11 teams)
5. Ohio Valley Conference (9 teams)
6. Southern Conference (9 teams)
7. Ivy League (8 teams)
8. Big South Conference (7 teams)
9. Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (9 teams)
10. Northeast Conference (8 teams)
11. Patriot League (7 teams)
12. Southwestern Athletic Conference (10 teams)
13. Pioneer Football League (9 teams)
