The ACC sucks

The SEC's floor is higher than all the others. The SEC's ceiling has dropped below the Big10 and Miami.

If you took the SEC teams best to worst and matched them up against the B1G, ACC, B12, best to worst, they would win more games BUT they would struggle to beat the top 1-3 teams and likely struggle at the bottom end as well.

I highly doubt: Pitt, Clemson, VT, Duke, SMU,... beat a Bama, UGA, Texas, OleMiss, LSU but maybe they can play with Texas A&M, UF, Tenn, UK, Missouri...
Miami on the other hand could beat any of them on any given day.

Indiana, OSU, maybe Oregon, can play with the top SEC teams and likely beat most days.

Big12: I'd say Utah, BYU, TT, Houston are in the second tier that would struggle to beat any top team.
 
Every conference sucks.

The Portal has made it to where every conference is top heavy & the rest are all just swimming in the C to B+ range.

There is not a significant talent advantage in one conference from the next. Every season is a one off with the massive roster overhauls. All it takes is one offseason & a team can rise to Playoff contention, or fall to obscurity.

But no one is head & shoulders better than everybody else.

All these games boil down to particular matchups. The top absolute best teams, will look regular against the right matchup. That's the nature of College Football.
