Finally, I couldn't resist a little expermentation with the numbers for conferences. In order to do this, for each conference, I used:
1. the conference average round 1 APs
2. the conference W/L percentage
3. the conference OOC W/L percentage
4. the conference average MOAPs
Each conference was given points that were the simple sum of 1-4. Conference rankings depend on what scores are used for the rankings. Here's a sample set of rankings
