its a good list, I would say Stanford is most likely from that list. To
complicate things further and if somebody wants to sleuth it, would also be interesting to see which of these teams also needs a P4 game for 2026 season. And which of these teams would be willing to play 2025 in Provo. Because BYU only has 5 home games for 2025 as of now.

BYU already has at least one P4 opponent lined up for every season from 2027-2032, but none for 2025 and none for 2026. BYU has 3 non-conference opponents already for 2026 (Utah Tech, CSU, USF), but none of them are P4.

Thus, the most logical choice would be a 2025-2026 home-and-away series for one of these teams, and buy out or move the 2026 home USF game to another season.

Stanford needs a P4 game also for 2026.

Based on interest of the other teams on this list, I think only Stanford and LSU would be interested. LSU as part of the trend of SEC teams increasing their non-conference SOS. But I'm still not sure if they would think highly enough of BYU to give them a home-and-away series and to go to Provo first.

Miami makes some sense, and they had an agreement with us before, but I wonder if they would feel getting yanked around if we approached them again (after we signed and then canceled on them).
