I think mine would go something like this:
1. SMU - Being the one team that the national champs lost to would be pretty cool, plus it chips away at the SEC and B1G narrative.
2. Iowa State - Bolsters the Big12 reputation and also dispels the SEC and B1G narrative like an SMU win would.
*Note - I do not have ASU here because their fans seem awful and their coach is a child
3. Tennessee - I like their program and their fans. I live in Nashville and there are plenty of Vols fans here. They have a great fanbase and would be fun to see an SEC school win that wasn't Bama, Georgia, or LSU.
4. Boise State - I would like this for the simple fact that it would be absolutely hilarious. Plus their QB went to AFHS (my alma mater)
