The pac12's worst just upset big12's best
Can we put to rest the argument that the pac12 isnt the best and deepest conference in the cuntry now? Sheesh!

Texas and Oklahoma should have gone west.
Top tier:
SEC - Bama, LSU, Florida
B1G - Ohio State, Michigan, Nebraska,
PAC16 - USC, Texas, OU
Second Tier:
SEC - Georgia, Tennessee, Auburn, Georgia
BiG - Penn State, Michigan State
PAC16 - Washington, UCLA, Oregon, Stanford
Anyway, that conference would actually compare favorably to the other two. I think the Pac is still viewed as the USC and dwarves, so getting some more top end cache would be very helpful. We have a decent B team of has beens like Washington, and new money like Oregon and Stanford to compare pretty well in the second tier already, but the top is where we just suck.
Whatever. I must be fucking bored.
If you look at that list from an historical perspective, all of your tier one teams have won multiple national championships, that's a fitting criteria IMO. In your second tier, all of the SEC and B1G teams have won at least one National Championship, but only three of the PAC teams have, and one of those is squarely in #ProveIt mode. Not saying that currently the "respect" wouldn't be there, so don't twist, but objectively the PAC would still suck when you compare it to the B1G and the SEC.
Edit: that said, I agree that the conference would have a lot more gravitas with those schools added.
The rest of the BigXII dreck can fuck off. I guess Kansas would be an acceptable alternate for Houston.
What will actually happen: BigXII tells Larry Scott to go fuck his tennis racket, so he adds Colorado St, Utah St, and then New Mexico and New Mexico St or UNLV and Nevada. Larry Scott sells this as "filling out the intra-state conference rivalries and adding a new state to the Pac-16 family" that nobody cares about.
