Quit with the finish line in sight? Never!

It's a Threesome!

1 Big 12 (Oklahoma)
1 SEC (Alabama)
1 Big 10 (OSU)

Final Gap between AAC and bottom of P5 is more than three times the gap between the AAC and the MWC.

And the Gap between the AAC and the bottom of of the G5 (Sunbelt) is a third less than the gap between the AAC and the ACC.


AAC is closer to the bottom of the G5 than the bottom of the P5.
