This is a table of under-/over-ratedness of conferences, calculated by summing up all of the overrated/underrated numbers for conference members for a given year.

Notes:

[1] The WAC ceased play in 2013 and did not really have a logical "successor" conference.

[2] The Mountain West began play in 1999. It was composed of seven upper-echelon "traditional" WAC members and UNLV formerly of the Big West. These teams left the WAC a few years after the WAC expanded to 16 teams. The post-MWC WAC was left with a couple of traditional "lesser lights" from the original WAC, most of the SWC teams not invited to the Big XII, and San Jose State formerly of the Big West. Rather than try to track the "traditional" WAC teams through the various realignments, the accounting done here is strictly by conference membership in each year.

An alternate way of accounting would be to count up the "traditional" WAC (now Mountain West) -- assigning +25 (1996), +34 (1995), and -4 (1993) from the WAC to the Mountain West. Those numbers are due to Brigham Young, Utah, and Colorado State -- all Mountain West teams at the time those points were earned.

[3] Conference USA began play in 1996, its original membership consisting of former minor independents, and Houston from the defunct SWC.

[4] The American Athletic Conference began play in 2013, consisting mostly of remnants of the old Big East. I considered it a successor to the Big East, and combined the two conferences' totals.
