Pacific-12 divisions

I want to see a Utah nebraska Rose Bowl

that would be mildly humorous...

I find that hard to believe. First off, Utah should be chomping at the bit to get into a BCS conference. Secondly, I don't see the 4 California teams getting split, and that's the only way you could get Utah in the South.

If you go by lines of latitude:

Pacific-12 North
Colorado
Oregon
Oregon State
Utah
Washington
Washington State

Pacific-12 South
Arizona
Arizona State
California
Southern California
Stanford
UCLA

This is the only setup that makes much sense. All of the California schools are going to insist on being in the same division. Same goes for the Washington and Oregon schools

i've read in some articles that utah was promised a spot in the south division with the arizona schools. hmmm.

i say we split up the CA rivals

division A
Cal
UCLA
Washington
Washington St
Oregon
Oregon St

division B
USC
Stanford
Colorado
Utah
Arizona
Arizona St

the only problem with the above is the travel for UCLA in regards to the rest of their division sans Cal.

Oops. I meant every other year.

Only need a conference if you will play a conference title game. IMHO

all the Cali schools must be together then disregard I suppose

its not that, but you can't seperate Cal and Stanford unless they are doing perm opponents from the other division.

I put Cal in the north (not ridiculous in a geographical sense) - if this is a political no go because all the Cali schools must be together then disregard I suppose

Unless they plan on doing permament rivals like the SEC, which I'm not a fan of, Stanford, SC, UCLA and Cal will all push hard to be in the same division. These are the 4 schools that pretty much control the Pac-10 politically also. The Washington and Oregon schools are going to want the same setup for them.
