[QUOTE="Limey Frog, post: 3043726, member: 16969"] I don't get the conflation of UCF and USF like they're interchangeable and you're as well to take both as either. UCF is a big school with a large and growing fanbase, and a sustained history of recent success on the field. USF is not those things. Cincinnati, meanwhile, is the strongest football program outside the current P5, and is located in a great sports town and a talent-rich football state. They're a no-brainer. Add them to UCF and BYU and you've only got one seat left on the bus. I could live with Boise or Houston, and wouldn't despair entirely over CSU. As for the Big XII becoming a bit more CUSA-ish, there isn't a whole lot we can do about that. We have Hobson's choice here. All we can do is invite the best programs available, then work collectively to all get better and put a good product on the field. People like close games. I think they'll tune in to watch a conference of 12 solid middleweights more than some might think. These 12 programs can offer something no other big conference has: a league that any member* might actually win in any given year. *Not Kansas, obviously. [/QUOTE]
