Really? "wow"? How one determines "strength" is relative. The conference certainly isn't as top heavy as it has been in the past, but the conference overall is a mine field of competition. Other conferences have some outstanding teams high on the national profile, but with enough dead weight not to seriously hamper the season outside the high profile conference match ups. There's little doubt that goes into preseason poll positioning. Teams that are head and shoulders above half of their division/conference are going to get a higher rating because a preseason poll is more a prediction on where you think teams will end up more than an assessment of how the team actually is.
