This seems suspect to me.
BYU has only been in the Big 12 for a couple of years, right?
I'm also surprised to see KSU on the list. I know they were good in the past, but I thought they were mostly mediocre for the last 10 years or so. (don't follow them so don't really know)
ND off the list is weird even though technically they are not P4 (but are specifically mentioned as being "in" if they meet a certain threshold)
(BTW, I don't think they should have special treatment, if they want in then they should join a conference IMHO)
