      Determined by finding the last decade win% for every P5 team (including the 4 new ones) against 3 different types of P5 opponents; those with 3 or fewer P5 wins, those with 4-6 P5 wins, and those with 7+ P5 wins.  And then taking sum of squares of differences to see which is most/least similar.

      Most similar

      1. UCLA
      2. Northwestern
      3. West Virginia
      4. Texas
      5. TCU
      6. Washington
      7. Washington St
      8. Iowa
      9. Baylor
      10. Louisville
      11. Arizona St
      12. Penn St
      13. Texas A&M
      14. Nebraska
      15. Cincinnati* (small sample size caveat)

      Least similar

      1. Kansas
      2. Houston* (small sample size caveat)
      3. Alabama
      4. Clemson
      5. Illinois
      6. Ohio St
      7. UCF* (small sample size caveat)
      8. Oklahoma
      9. Rutgers
      10. Vanderbilt
      11. Purdue
      12. Colorado
      13. Syracuse
      14. Maryland
      15. Oregon St

      Have the data and spreadsheet now that I can make similar lists for any other school as well
