1. Look at the colors in the Big East. I think you have like two teams who primarily color isn't blue.

2. New PAC-12: Every football member has word state in their name.

Correct. Providence (black) and St. John's (red). All other full members are some shade of blue, although the shade may vary.

Another fun fact: the Big East has more affiliate members whose primary color isn't blue than full members whose primary color isn't blue. Affiliate members whose primary color isn't blue: Denver, Liberty, Temple.

In 1989, arguably the most famous season (yet anonymous season due to no TV), Houston played Temple, Texas A&M, TCU, Texas and Texas Tech. The latter 3 came in back-to-back-to-back weeks.

All shades of blue. And then Gonzaga and Arizona also are blue along with so many of the Big East schools.

You're forgetting Indiana. Gonzaga and Arizona, LOL and their what, 1 combined title.
