Any advice would be appreciated.  I'm trying to transition my output from a text file to excel and if I can loop through my lists and define them that transition will be cleaner.

I'm not sure I've understood everything, is this something you're 
searching for:

fcDict = dict([(str(fc), 
str(arcpy.GetCount_management(fc).getOutput(0))) ) for fc in 
sorted(arcpy.ListFeatureClasses("*")) ])

print fcDict
print fcDict['WS_Hyd']

This is difficult to read because of the online statement, but it does 
basically the following pseudo code:

fcDict = dict([(feature.name, feature.value) for feature in featureList ])
