Only wanted to do Group of 5 schools, but a comprehensive list can be found here
Didn't someone just show Boise st , UNLV then SJSU as bottom three MWC. Also Hawaii is an affiliate member their a Big West school.
I'm not sure what other metrics posters have been using in their rankings but Carnegie Doctoral Research schools are split into tiers based on how much research activity is taking place on their campus. Boise State is a tier 2 research school meaning they have moderate research activity. UNLV is a tier 1 school for high research activity. SJSU does not have doctoral programs and therefore is not counted by this ranking. Any G5 school that is not included is missing because they don't offer doctoral degrees. (App State, WKU, and Coastal Carolina for example)
I included every school that each conference has on it's main website except for service academies which is not counted by Carnegie. There are several affiliates included in this ranking, but they are either a football-only member or an all-sports-besides-football member.
