I'll buy SEC and BiG.
Not so much on ACC or PAC.
The ACC is an unimpressive football conference unless/until Florida State and Miami get rolling again.
The PAC generally has one really good team, a top 25 team, and a bunch of crap. Unless Stanford sustains its run sans Luck and Harbaugh (unlikely), it's USC and Oregon (which doesn't carry the weight of Oklahoma and Texas).
The Big 12's top 4 most years will compare favorably with the top 4 in the ACC/PAC. Big 12 schools could also help themselves by playing a serious out-of-conference opponent every year (something OU already does).
