    Pac-10: Explosive offense, lacking defense

    Big Ten: Stuck in between the new and the old. Northwestern, Purdue, Illinois, Michigan use the spread...a lot of these teams are just now doing this with their latest coaching staffs. Indiana uses the Pistol, which is also a fairly recent move. Minnesota's struggling to find their offensive identity and has been back and forth with the spread and the pro under Brewster. Ohio State throws a little spread option in but is struggling with identity, as well, because of the kind of player Pryor is. So I would not say "Old School power football."

    SEC: Aggressive

    Big East: Bland, i.e. not particularly speedy, not particularly great defensively, not particularly explosive...nothing attention-getting

    Big 12: Inconsistent, i.e. explosive one season a la 2008, all over the map the next

    ACC: Get-the-job-done, i.e. good enough to make a bowl game but not good enough to be on the national radar

  • Pac 10: High-powered offense

    Big 10: Old-school power football

    SEC: Fast on both sides of the ball

    Big East: Not good

    Big 12: Talent and emotion

    ACC: Different styles for each team

    Unabomber, none of the conferences you listed are BCS conferences. I know you gave a link and everything, but BCS conferences are conferences where the conference champion gets an automatic bid to a BCS bowl. The MWC, C-USA, WAC, Sun Belt, and MAC don't get automcatic BCS bowl bids.
