Here are the schools who deserve better football/athletic wise

[NEforceUConn]

Given the P5 here's the ones where the Nation needs to act:

UConn
Cincy
BYU
Boise
One of USF or UCF

Honorable mention

One of USF or UCF
Navy
Airforce
Houston
Temple/SMU/ECU/Tulsa/Memphis/Tulane/UMass/UBuffalo

Let me leave it at that, rather than pimp UConn (but wow we are HOT)

I will not even comment on ND because its so out of court - please someone stop their concentric thinking/backing and expalin to the Nation that all they are are one of the top 15 schools - that's IT! Nothing more than that.

Couple questions...

1) huh?
2) Buffalo?
3) UMass?
4) huh?
5) BUFFALO?!?!?!

Why UMass and Buffalo and ECU and Temple, but no Colorado State or UNLV?

East Coast Bias.

BYU chose it's fate. It could very easily get back into a P5 conference by picking up the phone and calling the Big 12. So I don't have any sympathy for them. The rest of the schools in your top 5 are by products of CR. I feel for them, but not BYU. It would be like adding ND to the list. Independence was their choice. Also, USF and UCF have not earned anything.

USF has been mediocre in both major sports and mediocre may be being polite. They have had a football team as lon as we have and haven't accomplished anything. UConn has the basketball history and flagship label/budget to support a claim to being in a P5. UCF falls into the same USF claims.

I'd throw Boise out because are they really a school? In a real market? Is their leadership honorable to there commitments? Heck I can't believe the MWC gave them the ND treatment ??? I'm partial to Temple and think Houston has a lot going for it. I think with proper conference affiliation resourses ECU trumps Boise! I agree we look GREAT on that list and thats why we'll soon be in the B1G! Hell...we should'nt even still be here(AAC) now?btw,Navy and the other 2 military academy should be playing P5 FB(if they want) just by tradition and who they are!

USF is in the same boat as Uconn and Cincy. They were all in a BCS conference, and then because of CR, and are now on the outside looking in.
