The term Mid-Major is often bandied about with out real context. So I’m going to try to create a criteria so it’s better understand who would and wouldn’t be on a list like this. What a mid-major is not is a power conference team. The Power Conferences, often mistakenly referred to as the Power Five, are the six best and most consistently good conferences in the country.
The Big East, the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Big Ten, the Big 12, the Southeastern Conference and the Pac 12 make up the these power conferences. There are a few conferences on the fringe, like the American and the Atlantic 10.
