I go back and forth on how to characterize BYU. The WAC used to be a lot more major than it ended up, but agree it may be a stretch for this discussion. Cincinnati and the Big East absolutely were major. That was the BCS era and the Big East had an automatic bid. Definitely major.

I agree it was more “major” then vs. now. I wouldn’t have called it equivalent to the current Power5 majors though even at its peak.
