The only people who pay attention the US News rankings are prospective students and their families. You'd be surprised how little higher ed administrators care about the quality of the undergraduate education in their institutions.
Decision-makers in higher education care about AAU status and global rankings that focus on research. One example would be the Shanghai-Jiaotong rankings: LINK
Even this ranking system is viewed with considerable skepticism, however. It focuses almost entirely on the hard sciences, as it was developed as a way for Chinese unis to benchmark themselves against the rest of the world. Without academic freedom and strong homegrown academic journals, the humanities and social sciences are largely hopeless in Chinese universities.

Just to point out, Baylor ranks the same as UVA (101-150 worldwide), who certainly would meet Big 10 standards. Kansas is an AAU member, which matters a lot.
I've always heard OU and Okie St. are a package deal, and OU won't abandon their fellow state school. This throws a major monkey wrench into the works.
I'd view this was skepticism, but the "most likely" schools would be Kansas and Notre Dame, if they could get them. Otherwise, Kansas and either Texas, TCU, or Baylor (they want entry to the TX market, and Baylor has risen through profile in all sports considerably recently)
