Good points. Here are my thoughts....

1. Hands down the best conf in the land, but also the toughest. If a coach's goal is to win a BCSNC (and not solely consider coaching at "the next level" as argued by some here), then one could argue it's more of a deterrent for someone in GP's position than it is a positive.

2. No doubt - big advantage for LSU.

3. You said it yourself - great fan base, but extremely tough (b/c we have high standards). But certainly a positive.

4. TCU can and will pay whatever it takes. This is a wash at best.

5. Very true.
