As you said, everybody tries to puff up their school by selecting stats that give them their desired results. But you did a pretty good job of putting down the school by, again, cherry-picking some stats.

"194th ranked institution" - There are thousands of rankings depending on your source and the criteria. I'm sure you found one that has USU as 194 but I'm equally sure that USU has found others that rank them pretty high.

"12-13th best conference" - So now we're counting some conferences twice? The Pac 12 is 1 conference, and it is split into 2 divisions. Same for the Big 10, SEC, and ACC. And if we're trying to be accurate, Independants are not a conference. So if we take actual conferences, the MWC is 6th (the MWC's divisions combined ranked higher than that AAC's 2 divisions).
