The conference reform took over the college football world this summer. In response to the SEC buying Texas and Oklahoma from the Big 12 from 2025, the Big Ten made a move to bring USC and UCLA out of the Pac-12 from 2024.
Even if both conferences are supposedly happy to stay with 16 teams with their respective new members, it is possible that college football, and therefore, university athletics, will go to two massive super conferences. Whether a school makes it to one of the almighty super conferences when the dust settles will essentially determine whether the athletic department of that school survives the new era of collegiate athletics.
With that in mind, Pat Forde of Sports Illustrated published “Desirability Ratings” for each school, measuring the conference value of each Power Five school based on five factors:
Forde uses these metrics to rank the desires of each Power Five school. See the complete ranking and its analysis here: Desired Ratings: Measure each Power 5 School Conference value
With all the metrics put together, Virginia ranks 32nd overall out of 69 rated Power Five schools. UVA is tied for 48th in football, 9th in academics, 11th in all sports, 51st in attendance, and 52nd in spectators. Virginia ranks higher than eight ACC schools: Virginia Tech (35), Pittsburgh (46), Wake Forest (47), Duke (50), Georgia Tech (54), Louisville (T55), Syracuse (60), and Boston College (60). 62).
The average school ranking for each Power 5 conference, uses future membership (after USC and UCLA join the Big Ten in Texas and Oklahoma join the SEC): SEC 25.1, Big Ten 25.8, ACC 39.6, Pac-12 41.4, Big 12 49.3.
