I see Oregon & Wash to Big1G, Utah, Az, AZ St. following Colorado to the 12, Maybe Kal & Stan independent for a bit, and Wazzu & Ore St. to Mountain West.
Or SDSU & someone else join what's left of Pac and they try to lobby for Power 5 conf status....good luck.
Money is driving everything. College football may be unrecognizable within 2-3 years. I don’t mind change, but everything changing all at once is tough. Conference breakups, NIL, playoff expansion…AAAGGHH!!!!
Many possible scenarios. This one makes sense also...but geography would have to eventually kick in due to travel time and if the Wokesters install a maximum volume of air travel per person.
4 divisions of five. Play 9 conference games: round robin 4 vs. your division every year, play all five teams in one of the three other divisions on a three year rotating basis. Division champions play a seeded semi final, then a conference championship game for the two winners.

SDSU has already decided to stay with Mountain West.
BTPCFB, as we once knew it, not longer exists. Not sure how much interest I will have going forward. SC can eat shit and die, and take the Baby Bears with them for all I care.
Oregon and Washington just bailed for the Big 18. I think we’re down to seven now.
The Bay Area, the Zonies, the States of OR and WA, and Utah. Can’t see Utah staying around much longer and I can see both Zonies heading for the Big 12 or however many they are.
Edit: looks like Zonies and Utah are already headed for the Big 12.
Gene Block(head), UCLA Chancellor for many years is stepping down. Big supporter and role player in selection of Larry Scott as Pac 12 commissioner...Probably saw the conference break apart and thought "my work here is done".

I don’t think Stanford is getting left out. They’re $36b endowment, academics, and success in Olympic sports is going to eventually land them in a P4. I’m hoping they can put their disdain for affiliation with religious schools (BYU and Baylor) aside and join the Big XII.

They’re going to hook up with Cal and Notre Dame and go to the ACC.

Something tells me this whole thing is gonna blow up (badly) in a few years. Those in charge of the experiment will tuck away and hide and things will eventually go back more closely to the way they were. That’s my prediction. The Pac will be back!

I’m old school in that I liked there being a geographical aspect to conferences. Down here, we enjoy kicking yankee butt. Makes up for that ass-kicking back in the 1860s!
My dad was a big Ohio State fan. I thoroughly enjoyed the Tide pounding the Buckeyes 35-6 in the Sugar Bowl one year when Dad was so sure Woody’s kids would win.
Seriously, though, it’s enjoyable having those differences.
Plenty of blame to go around for the PACs demise. They had three chances to put the Big 12 to pasture but their elitist presidents and commissioner prevented that from happening.

Yep.
