Houston, ASU, uu

Why this order? Baylor and BYU have been friendly for some time. The flagship state schools (WVU, Colorado, AZ, KU...) and secondary state schools (KSU, OK St., ISU and TT) look best on a resume. BYU competes directly against uu, AZ and ASU for recruits. I don't want the three western schools to be awful, but I want BYU in every conversation. We need the conference to look good.

Although they get teased nationally, I like UCF and would like them to make noise – especially against fellow Florida schools.

ISU and TCU are down the list because in general they have been turds to BYU. Houston and Cincinnati? Nobody really cares about their football team. Hopefully, they can continue to bring it in bb.
