We talked about this in the other thread. Houston, Cincinnati and Boise State were mentioned. The more I think about it, I think Houston and Cincinnati are better options. You already have WVU, Cincinnati isn't much different.

I would Cincy would be a shoe in for #11

At first I thought Boise to expand the footprint, but remembering the politics of the SWC and Baylor (Ann Richards), I think Houston since they got screwed in the first B12 go around. If they go outside footprint, UCF and Memphis make sense.

They should go after their commissioner for being an idiot and costing Baylor a playoff spot.

I like the idea of Houston. However, adding someone like that or Boise, or UC makes it look more and more like what the Big East looked like before it died. They should try and lure Colorado back. I don't know how great of a move it was for them to go to the Pac-10/12

BYU is now posturing to be an invite to the conference.
