BYU Football finds themselves in the middle of drastic changes to college football.

The big story around Texas and Oklahoma moving to the SEC has started to now shift towards the other schools in the Big 12. There are reports of the Pac 12 and Big 10 wanting to go after some of the remaining Big 12 teams and it can be assumed that the ACC, who has 15 members, would also pick up West Virginia if other teams start to fall.

When we dig deeper into these teams however, it becomes clear that besides having the title of “P5” next to them, they are for the most part not all that impressive compared to BYU Football and even some other G5 teams hoping to make the jump into the P5 level.

In this article I will break down how BYU compares to the remaining Big 12 schools in the following categories: History, Recent Success, and Market.
