Media days are quickly approaching, which means college football is almost here! It’s also an opportunity to evaluate and examine each conference as their head coaches head to the podium and discuss the upcoming season.

One of the most popular debates among fans is over the title of “best conference.” 247Sports regularly gauges that issue. Earlier this year, 247Sports looked at each league’s 2018 season to rank them in order based on a variety of factors: Non-conference win percentage, non-conference win percentage against FBS opponents, Power Five opponents and ranked opponents, bowl season record, teams ranked in the year-end Top 25 and the league’s average S&P+ ranking.

Obviously, many of those measures aren’t available entering the 2019 season. But we’ll use last year’s stats as a baseline to judge each conference entering 2019. Additionally, as with any ranking, there will be a heavy dose of opinion when it comes to making adjustments with an eye toward this season.

With that in mind, this is how the 10 FBS conferences rank entering 2019.

Note: Statistics are a conference’s record from last season, while the FPI average is based on ESPN’s 2019 preseason rankings
