This is way overlooked when talk about which schools can move up in the athletics pecking order.. if you don't think the people that make these decisions do not look at them, you are incorrect..

there were 3 schools that start the BCS era out of a P5 conference but started the CFP era in a P5 conference-

#082 TCU
#115 Utah
#168 Louisville

Decent, but not superior.

As for some other schools that moved around in the P5-

#140 Rutgers
#175 WVU

not impressive.

Rutgers is tied for 72 not sure where you are seeing 140.

Edit: 140 is the Newark campus.
