Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 1879568, member: 622"] The following is an opinion: Cincy is ready for P5, more so than most other schools. Houston is the clear #1 school ready for P5, they have been in with the P5 teams before. Cincy is in the top 5 on my list of schools ready for P5. It just sucks that they are 90 minutes from tOSU and under their thumb politically. BYU is P5 material but they reside in a terrible place and have woe weird rules. They are only viable for the PAC which is unlikely to choose them due to west coast bias against, well, anything to to the right of San Francisico; and the Big 12 and they may not want the travel hassle - they have enough of those already. Besides, who wants to watch the rivalry develop between WVU and BYU? UCF, USF, UConn are all newbies. UConn has no real pull as the first two are in markets larger than Connecticut. Plus, they have high level recruiting in their backyard. Memphis has some history but mostly in hoops. They are in the shadows of Tennessee and are really on viable for the Big 12: The SEC does not need them and academically, they don't appeal to the B1G nor the ACC. Tulane has academics and location. They quit the SEC due to academics. Still, NOLA is an easy trip for any fan to make. They lack real history. Did I mention NOLA? ECU, sucks to be #5 in the heart of the ACC. They could go B1G but they lack academics and following for the B1G. The Acc will not allow a 5th school from the same state. The SEC would like NCState before ECU. Only viable for the Big 12. Boise - See BYU, move north by 1500 miles and remove the population. No issues with religion, but realistically, only would fit in the PAC and their academics are almost as low Rutgers' football prowess, OK, that's insulting Boise academics, but you get my drift. I can't think of any others that are somewhat in consideration. Anyway, just an opinion, that and $10 buck can get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks. [/QUOTE]
