Umm...excuse me, but I believe Washington started this year ranked at #1 by
Sports Illustrated, and ended last year ranked #2 by virtually everyone.

I think it was two years ago that Washington was ranked #1 by AP and UPI for
seven weeks during the middle of the season, then Elway's Stanford team
upset them (this was the year Marino was a senior at Pitt).

I don't think it is possible to make blanket statements about any of the 
big football conferences as to which is the best over any period of time.
By "big football conferences" I mean Big-10, Big-8, SEC, PAC-10, and SWC.
The ACC is almost that big but they still mostly concentrate on b-ball.
