Even if that happens, an eight game schedule is an even bigger issue...7 div opponents, 1 perm from the opposite division and you never play the other 7?



4 pods, because that's the ideal conference format for 16 teams.. and works perfectly with an 8 game schedule

and I'm not nostradamus, I don't know who the other teams will be

i haven't looked at it before, but i don't see how. you would play the three other teams in your pod every year, and then rotate 2 of the 4 in the other 3 pods. that = 9 game schedule.

ETA...here's a link to an article that was floating around when Texas, OU etc were considering a move to the Pac 12.

If the Longhorns were in Pod A, they would play the other Pod A teams (Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech) every year. They would also play two teams from Pod B, Pod C and Pod D, bringing the total to nine conference games every year.
