California insisted that USC and ucla play Cal and Stanford every year regardless of division
They go too and that's your 16 teams
I have zero interest in anything after that
Roll Tide and fuck off
They already have 14, so 14+4 is 18.
OK that sounds like new math to me
Good point though
Still an issue
If money is what matters, why let 16 or 18 the limit? If FOX is driving this to get back at ESPN, I can see them wanting to bring in other Pac-12 or ACC markets.
Because I'm stuck in the old fashioned thinking that a 20 or 24 team league isn't a league
Play USC once a decade
Now
If the Super B1G has an 8 team Pacific division that is the old Pac 8 I'm back in
It's not.
12-14 is already pushing it
Conferences are regional things - not national things. This is dumb.
I can't wait to figure out what scrub teams the PAC-12 will recruit into the conference. Any predictions?
If UW and Oregon manage to get a pity invite to the B1G the PAC will fold or become the new and improved MWC by bringing in the top-4 teams from the MWC. Hopefully the LA schools signaled this was coming to UW prior to it leaking or that's a really bad sign.
I could see Oregon, but the second school would come out of Big 12. Baylor, Oklahoma State, maybe even Iowa State. They're not going to ask Washington to join. There not going to admit a team with a program and a fanbase in a death spiral. Even Utah probably has a better chance of getting in than Washington. We ain't such a big fish anymore.
On the flip side, if Oregon doesn't get an invite because of us, that'll be our biggest win over them in 20 years.
We made three straight New Years Bowls not very long ago. Washington is a traditional top 20 program and isn't in a death spiral. Calm down, Tex

I could see eventually a BIG 10 Atlantic/East, Central and Pacific/West divisions. All 8 team divisions. Winner of each division makes the final 8 playoff. Same with the SEC. Coastal, Central and West. Winner of each division makes the final 8. Two at large births chosen out of the top remaining BIG, SEC or leftover teams.

UW has a media market. That's the only hope.
14th largest media market in the U.S. TV revenue is a huge part of these moves.
Yes, I'm sure the 14th vs. the 25th sized media market is going to be the primary driver here. Lolz.
Big 10/Fox 14 current teams USC UCLA UW Oregon Cal Stanford ASU Arizona North Carolina Duke Possibly substitute Arizona schools or Bay Area schools with Virginia and Virginia Tech
Two of these things are not like the others... North Carolina and Duke would never agree to this. Sub Colorado and Utah and it just might work.

North Carolina and Duke would play in a division/pod with Penn State, Maryland, Rutgers, Virginia?, Michigan and Ohio State? They wouldn't be in the Pacific/West division. I'm just spit ballin here. Hoping for the best.
UW is not smart enough or bad enough to be Vanderbilt.
It would be funny if the B10 ends up taking most of the P12 and turning it into a division. The USC players would get a few extra dick twists for a couple years

Has nothing to do with comparing Seattle to what I presume is Portland. It has to do with getting an invitation to join.
