Got curious about this after seeing another post about schools benefitting academically from college football, so here is the average ranking of each P5 conference based on U.S. News Best National Universities rankings of members for the 2024 season.

  1. ACC: 52.278*
  2. B1G: 52.833
  3. SEC: 113.313
  4. Big XII: 137.375
  5. Pac-2: 160

* ACC includes non-football member Notre Dame. Without Notre Dame, the ACC drops to second place with an average of 54.176

Realignment and the death of the Pac-12 had a big impact. The rankings based on 2023 membership are:

  1. B1G: 55
  2. ACC: 55.6
  3. Pac-12: 79.917
  4. SEC: 118.357
  5. Big XII: 136.714
