    Yeah I heard that unless something crazy happens, like Notre Dame stepping in for Nebraska, the Big 12 should dissolve. The SEC is so loaded, the Pac-16 would still be weaker right? Not sure.

    They have lost 2 schools. They can be replaced pretty easily with TCU and someone else.

    Again, one woul dhope that the PAC 10 didn't take the worst Big 12 school without being all but assured it could get some real schools

    This is a lot like the trade deadline. All sorts of rumors, and denials, and anxious fans.

    And then blammo...nothing worth crap happens. :*)

    The general idea of getting some big-time schools to join the conference is pretty cool. But the more I think about it, the less interesting it becomes to me.

    I really like the fact that every team in the Pac-10 plays every other team, every year. There is no ambiguity about conference strength-of-schedule, and the rivalries develop very well.

    With two divisions, each team plays 7 division games. What do they do for their other 4-5 games? They can't play every team in the other division, so you either don't play any of them (and have 4-5 non-conference games, which is lame), or you play different teams by year. This then throws a wrench into the conference record standings.

    Am I the only one with hesitation about this move?

    As it is right now, once in a while the schedule gets mucked up.

    here is Oregon from '05. http://espn.go.com/ncf/teams/schedule?teamId=2483&year=2005

    They didn't play UCLA that year. That said, playing just 3 out of 8 teams at random, isn't that bad. Are you really going to miss playing the Arizona schools?

    I would imagine OSU would get dropped like a bad habit, but I'm not an alum from either.

    I'm also concerned about the non-divisional games... but all-in-all I'm very pleased with this going down. I think Texas/OU are huge programs that will add legitamacy to the PAC10 conference and remove some of the east coast bias in college football. The only teams you would stop playing every year are the Ariona's, so strength of schedule would go way up even if there is some vairance from year to year. But our Beavs have had a problem only being able to go on the road to schedule big teams out of conferences, this will allow us to have big games against premium programs at home in Corvallis.
