re: Comparing conferences: A different look

I like this list overall but here are a few viewpoints..

Something doesn't sit right with me having Penn State in Tier 1 for some reason. Yes, James Franklin is a good (some would say great coach) but I don't think PSU is the same program it was during the height. But I understand the point being that they just need the right coach to contend. Got it. They can stay. (I would put 'teetering' by them )

Tennessee deserves to be up there for the same reason I presume Penn State is up there. They just need the right coach. Butch is recruiting extremely well and they have amazing facilities so if Jones can't deliver a title (or even get to the playoffs) in the next few years then maybe UTK should slip.. but for now, I agree with where they are.

I'll try to be unbiased (I'm also a UCLA fan) but I think UCLA could rise to tier 1. Jim Mora is proving that the right coach at UCLA can make them a contender. The Bruins are investing in facilities and having great success recruiting. But for now, I agree with where they are.. I would just put "rising" next to them. If Oregon can be elite, then eventually so can UCLA.
