I would add Oregon and Stanford to PAC-12. They are on the national scene to stay in my opinion.

Oregon, yes. Stanford? Not so much.


Oregon's got a ton of money and exposure due to their Nike connections. As long as Nike continues to be a major player in sports, Oregon will be a major player as well.


I think Stanford's position right now is thanks to the other three programs in the state hitting a downswing at the same time, making them the go-to school for all that Cali talent.

If/when UCLA or USC returns to powerhouse status, Stanford will probably return to the mid-tier of Pac Twelve teams.
