TCU 2-1-0
Kansas State 4-2-0
Texas Tech 0-0-1
Kansas 1-1-0
Oklahoma State 1-2-0
West Virginia 3-16-1
Oklahoma 0-2-0
UH 13-15
UCF 4-3
BYU 0-2 does it count because TT was on vacation?
On the road the future:
BYU very scenic stadium.
WVU been there done that and it is not almost heaven.
BU so I can go see The Branch Davidian site and other cool things in Wacko TX.
Out of OU and Texas, I'd rather play Texas if we get one or the other having played Oklahoma previously in a series. Plus if Arch Manning is there then Texas will be about as big as a national stage as an opponent gets.
Outside of that I'll go in terms of who I look forward most playing against yearly:
Oklahoma State
West Virginia
Texas Tech
BYU
UCF
Houston
Baylor
TCU
Kansas St. and Iowa St. don't do much for me but are solid opponents. Kansas only for b-ball.
Haven't thought much about traveling as a fan yet so that did not play a factor into my rankings.
BYU for the tailgates and parties

The decaffeinated root beer will be off the hook.
I want to see the Longhorns in Nippert.
Can't wait for the basketball schedule. Nearly the entire slate.
If we get Oklahoma or Texas just 1 time at Nippert before they bolt it would be nuts.
Looking forward to home game opportunities against squads like Baylor, OK State, WVU, BYU, and Iowa State. Fan interest in conference matchups is going to be off the charts.
I still foresee an emerging rivalry with Iowa State in both revenue sports. In FB, as long as Matt Campbell is there there will continue to be recruiting battles in Ohio, Illinois and Michigan. This sort of thing fuels rivalries for the coaches/players, which will spill out out onto the fans.
Obviously, WVU for the same reasons. UCF to me seems to be more of an internet fueled rivalry between the fans, but I am not aware that same tension exists for the players (especially on the hoops side).
I can't wait to go to Fogg Allen

There was terrific energy in 5th/3rd when Iowa State visited several years ago. They have big-time facilities and great fans who will travel so I too think this will be an emerging rivalry.
No doubt, Kansas in our arena and Baylor in Nippert will be as big as any conference foes UC has ever faced in the bright spotlight of the P5. Despite some recent battles, I don't have much passion for the "UCF rivalry" and I'm really not sure why. I have similar feelings about Houston and I think we will gravitate toward new rivalries with the established Big 12 members.
Baylor, TCU, OK St, KU, K-State...
Basically all the ones I can make a one-night trip out of.
I guess ISU and Houston would classify as stretch goals to that end.
Any team that's not Temple, Tulane or ECU.

The Big 12 is kind of a perfect conference for you specifically.

Basketball

Not including Houston or Central Florida because they are coming with us from the AAC.
I'm looking forward to the trip to Iowa state, which is a pretty easy drive up I74.
To take this the other direction, I am looking toward to not having to play Tulsa, Tulane, East Carolina and Temple anymore.

Bolded, my feelings too. Give Fickell and his coaching staff credit for preparing and motivating our Bearcat teams for games in Temple's nearly empty, cavernous pro stadium, Tulsa's and Tulane's small stadia with lots of empty seats, and ECU where a once full stadium has emptied after years of losing.
B12 stadia, with the exception of Kansas, will be mostly full and all have established fan bases, historically accustomed to hosting some of the nation's best teams. The energy level for conference road games will definitely get kicked up a notch or two.
1. WVU as it will be nice to renew the rivalry.
2. Baylor and OSU. Both are really good and play exciting football. Should be good
match ups.
3. ISU, KSU, TCU solid programs with good fan support.
4. BYU and TT. solid programs, just not as excited to play them.
