NCAA Football Conferences

Looking for information about the conferences that make up NCAA football? In this category, we offer an overview of the Big Ten and PAC-10, the SEC and ACC, the Mountain West and Conference USA -- and all the rest, too.
The Big Ten Conference
The Big Ten Conference clings to tradition like no other conference in the sport. Which may explain why it held onto its long-time name, even though it now has 11 teams.
The Southeastern Conference
The SEC is the most powerful, most glamorous and, quite possibly, most successful conference in college football.
The Pacific 10 Conference
The PAC-10 is home to such traditional powers as the University of Southern California as well as up-and-comers such as the University of Oregon.
The Atlantic Coast Conference
After stealing away top programs Virginia Tech and Boston College from the Big East, the ACC has become more competitive than ever.
The Big East Conference
The Big East took a big hit when two of its members bolted for the ACC, but with the rise of programs such as West Virginia, South Florida and Rutgers, this conference is showing surprising resiliency.
The Big XII Conference
Home to such legendary programs as Texas, Nebraska and Oklahoma, the Big XII is steeped in history.
