A few takeaways

  • Teams that would be additive for various conference include
    • To the SEC or B1G: Clemson and Notre Dame, though Washington, Oregon, Florida St, TCU, Oklahoma St and Miami are close and all score above the score of Rutgers
    • To the ACC (from the PAC): Oregon, Washington, Stanford, Utah
    • To the ACC (from the Big 12): TCU, Oklahoma St, Baylor, West Virginia
    • To the Big 12 (from the PAC): Oregon, Washington, Stanford, Utah
    • To the Big 12 (from the ACC): Clemson, Florida St, Miami, Pitt, NC State, Virginia Tech, North Carolina, Louisville
    • To the PAC (from G5): Nobody (see below comments on Army/Navy)

  • Big 12 Teams that WOULD have been additive to the PAC even when they still had USC/UCLA: TCU, Oklahoma St, Baylor.  Best guess is that TCU, Baylor were out for religious reasons and Oklahoma St for academic reasons, but the PAC definitely screwed up by not taking those teams when they could (also worth noting that USC/UCLA were actively preventing it)

  • Team that surprise with how high/low they end up
    • Army/Navy: Really these schools basically end up benefitting from the Army/Navy game drawing MASSIVE ratings (nearly as many people watch that game as watch BYU all season) and also the Navy/ND game.  They also have large markets (Baltimore/DC and New York).  But frankly, they don't scale well, so their score here should be taken with a grain of salt
    • BYU (#44), UCF (#45), Cincinnati (#54), and Houston (#59) should get a boost from moving into a P5 conference.  This obviously isn't yet reflected in the data
    • Virginia Tech (#41), North Carolina (#42), and Virginia (#66) are all commonly seen as expansion targets for the SEC or B1G...but frankly haven't shown that well in their current conferences and would require a leap of faith that they'll be a different program than they have been
