New PAC 12...How do we think the new PAC12 is going to look for football?

Interesting that they’re all “State” schools.


Oregon State
Washington State
Boise State
Utah State
Colorado State
Fresno State
San Diego State
Texas State

Boise State will be there every year but there is a ceiling

SanDiego State and Utah State will have peak years every 6 years

But Oregon State and Washington State will be the power schools, always with a chance

Texas State might have one every 10 years in them

better than it looks on paper, but their good players will be constantly raided by Big Ten and SEC schools...

I think they should sue the big ten and the bowls to keep the tie ins just to see the world burn.

DBU got a big move up for baseball. Happy for them.

Will be a strong baseball conference. Even Gonzaga isn’t that bad. Football, they’ll have a shot at one of those teams getting in the playoffs in most years.

It will be interesting to see how Wazzu and Oregon State perform with ESPN calling them "Group of 5" and "Mid Major" every 10 seconds.

1/2 of the teams in P5 leagues are not "power" under any stretch; and they would struggle under ESPN's incessant condescension.

The way the media like ESPN acts in enforcing their narrative, you are correct.

I gotta give their University President credit for his energy and promotion, though. I envy it.

Probably good enough to steal Memphis, Tulane, and USF away from the AAC once their buyouts get small enough.

Again…Does it mean anything that they went with all “State” schools? If they get back to 12…that would have to change. Cal and Stanford have to go back to the PAC….right!?!? They need to look in the mirror and realize they are still “new PAC 12” level.

The Pac-2 and MW shoulda merged under the Pac12 banner. Would’ve made the most sense. Neither strengthened their conference and won’t have Power 5 status.

If so, it’s all justified, as silly as all this seems. They’re probably not done going after the top couple schools in the AAC. That would solidify it.

In football it will be the best G6 conference but I think it’s going to be a strong basketball conference with Gonzaga in the mix. TXST needs to get their basketball program in check when we get into the league or we are going to get run out of the gym every year.
