Predicting Each Conference's All-Americans Based On Rankings

The postseason is really here. We're less than two weeks away from conference tournament weekend and a month from NCAAs weekend! With the last set of rankings from the regular season, I wanted to take a look and see if the last set of rankings predicted the podium, how many AAs would each conference have, and who would they be?

You can find the complete rankings HERE.

All-Americans By Conference Based On Regular Season Rankings

Big 10 - 31

Big 12 - 18

ACC - 13

EIWA - 9

Pac 12 - 7

SoCon - 1

MAC - 1

It should come as no surprise to see the Big 10 atop this hypothetical rankings. While 31 might seem like a good amount, it would actually be down from last year.

2022 Actual All-Americans By Conference

Big Ten –39

Pac-12 –13

ACC –10

Big 12 –10

EIWA –7

SoCon - 1

The Big 12 is up big from last year while the Big 10 and Pac 12 dropped.
