Looking for information about the conferences that make up NCAA football? In this category, we offer an overview of the Big Ten and PAC-10, the SEC and ACC, the Mountain West and Conference USA -- and all the rest, too.
2009 Pac-10 Games Worth Watching
For nearly a decade now, Pete Carroll and the Trojans have utterly dominated the Pac-10, and so the obvious question as we approach the 2009 season is this: Will anyone finally bring this streak to an end? Well, no. Probably not.
2009 Big 12 Games Worth Watching
Oklahoma and Texas. Texas and Oklahoma. They’re the story in the Big 12 in 2009, right? Well, not exactly. Not if you know anything about the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
2009 ACC Games Worth Watching
The ACC might be the most competitive conference in the country. Here, we look at the games that will shape the conference's championship race in 2009.
2009 SEC Games Worth Watching

2009 Big East Games Worth Watching
The Big East has taken some ribbing over the years. Well, I’ve got some bad news, Big East fans: This year, the ribbing may reach new levels. And it may be justified, too. Here, we look at the games that will shape an ugly year in the Northeast.
The Big Ten Conference
The Big Ten Conference clings to tradition like no other conference in the sport. Which may explain why it held onto its long-time name, even though it now has 11 teams.
The Southeastern Conference
The SEC is the most powerful, most glamorous and, quite possibly, most successful conference in college football.
The Pacific 10 Conference
The PAC-10 is home to such traditional powers as the University of Southern California as well as up-and-comers such as the University of Oregon.
The Atlantic Coast Conference
After stealing away top programs Virginia Tech and Boston College from the Big East, the ACC has become more competitive than ever.
The Big East Conference
The Big East took a big hit when two of its members bolted for the ACC, but with the rise of programs such as West Virginia, South Florida and Rutgers, this conference is showing surprising resiliency.
The Big 12 Conference
Home to such legendary programs as Texas, Nebraska and Oklahoma, the Big XII is steeped in history.
