    I ultimately think this will happen, but that’s a BIG if things stay status quo with WA admin. Not Oregon. I think they want to compete with whoever, whatever conference, no matter even if it’s the SEC. I do not think that with WA admin. Oregon seems to be tied to WA like OU has been to TX. That’s Jmo.

    Whatever WA may do, I think OR may do. Unless they sit on the pot for too long.

    Well that goes without saying. As far as universities go (which is what matters to the decision makers) Oregon isn't even on the same planet as UW. They are Oregon State with a pro sports owner and the B1G knows that. Their academics has been evaluated and called into question numerous times during this whole thing, whereas Washington's research revenue is greater than every other school except for Michigan.
    The B1G long term strategy is to build a classier more high-minded super conference alternative to the meathead SEC. Treating the student athlete with a more blue state value system.

    They can actually build a national coast to coast football and sports brand of mostly reputable institutions. If they get ND, UW, NC, etc. they start to really challenge for the #1 super conference spot on the field and obviously with the academic prestige.

    It’s about synergy of brands and shaping the destiny of elite D-1 sports from the perspective of elite academia.

    You heard it here first.
    It all sounds pretty gay to me if you lose to bama in the end.
    Ohio State choked against Georgia.

    If the playoff was staying at 4 then it would be more concerning of a situation going forward but as it stands winning the PAC still gets an auto bid.

    No one knows what croots want to do so don't dogmaticly tell me all the Cali kids are racing to Wisconsin and Michigan State

    I personally find UWs situation to be fairly win win

    Hang the research banner
    It's why Utah doesn't have an invite.

    It's why Oregon Admin is praying that UW gets in.

    None of this restructuring has ever been about beating bama. Just by expanding the playoff alone that possibility is greatly diminished.

    It’s mainly about the 12 weeks before, and the cfp tourney itself.

    So then Stanford.

    But is Oregon really worse than Nebraska or Iowa?

    The answer is NO

    @creepycoug is taking a nap on Biscayne Bay where the lazy Cuban gentleman sleep all day, so I will jump in here...

    So looking at the lower acedemic prowess schools in the Big vs. Oregon....

    #77 Pedo State (wtf @whlinder ? are you thinking)

    #83 Iowa

    #105 Oregon (Utah is tied with Oregon at #105 BTW)

    #115 Rutgers

    #151 Nebraksa

    You're going to have to explain Nebraska to me then. Rutgers, Maryland and Indiana are a bit of a push on "elite academics" as well. YMMV.
