No real surprise here. Power 5 conferring "Power 5" status to above football programs for scheduling purposes.
Surprises: ditto Army & Navy (but not Air Force, arguably the best of the 3 service academy programs.)
Oh and they did likewise with ND, a football "independent".
What's left?
1. & 2. Boise St. and Hawaii
3 & 4. The "Directional Florida" schools
5. San Diego St. (but not their traditional rival San Jose St.)
Looks like the rest of the Mountain West and AAC are endangered species.
