Every conference commissioner likely has a "who's next" list ...
... so how do y'all think those lists might look for the "P-5" conferences?
There's obviously levels of desirability and fit for each "candidate" as we all know, so the schools are sorted into tiers (and sub-tiers) to indicate a pecking order from the conference's standpoint if a decision to expand were to proceed and GoR's have either expired, dissolved or proven not to be an insurmountable obstacle.
Tier 1 = A take
Tier 2 = A potential take but with complications
Tier 3 = Longshots primarily for geographical or institutional fit reasons
