If you look at the power 5 and take the top 8 teams in terms of record you get this:
BIG 36-4
SEC 34-5
BIG12 29-6
PAC 29-7
ACC 25-6
OK, but the big ten must be cleaning up on cupcakes right? Well since you mentioned it the best wins for each conference (ie wins vs the other conferences top 8) are as such:
BIG: (4) Stanford, Oregon, Pitt, Duke
ACC: (2) ND, ILL
PAC: (1)UM
Big12: (0)
SEC: (0)
Each undefeated big ten team has beaten a top 8 out of conference opponent except OSU, and they are #1.
