Nobody else has pulled this, so I'll jump for Georgia Tech if the ACC actually does play.
They left the option flock and are dead to me. Perhaps they will entertain me when they climb back up to a degree.

They peaked under George O'Leary, with Joe Hamilton taking the snap.  That team would drill their '90 NC squad.

Looking back, those Hamilton teams lagged on D.

Yes, made for some fun game-watching.

Just going to play it safe then.

They almost make it too easy.  Well, as long as we don't find out that people can be asymptomatic, this seems foolproof

Okay, I seem to have found a comprehensive list. 

The SEC/ACC/Big 12, of course. The American, Sunbelt and CUSA as well. Plus Notre Dame, Army, BYU and Liberty.

BYU currently has only four games on the docket. Two in September, one in October and one in November

Maybe we should make an effort to get to know our new team.

Who was their best player? Best coach? What was their best season?

For MSU, it's Pitt, who I brought up.

I just assume the answer to all three questions is Ditka

For Texas Tech, some notable recent players are:

LB Zach Thomas
WR Wes Welker
WR Michael Crabtree
QB Patrick Mahomes
QB Graham Harrell
QB and later head coach Kliff Kingsbury

Mahomes was a nice college QB, but obviously made more of an impact as a pro.  I think for college impact, Crabtree takes the cake from this group.  2-time All American and had that memorable TD against Texas at the last second in 2008 I believe.

Besides Crabtree (07, 08), here are their other 2-time All Americans:

Zach Thomas (94, 95)
RB Donny Anderson (64, 65)
CB/LB EJ Houlb (59, 60)

Brother, you had better make some room on the bandwagon, because I'm all Liberty all day.

"The material Granda showed Reuters includes screenshots from what Granda said was a FaceTime conversation he had with the Falwells in 2019. During that call, Granda said, Becki was naked as the two discussed their relationship while Jerry peeked from behind a door. Reuters was able to verify Granda’s description of the screenshots."
