BREAKING Pac12 to P4: We back!

[Elefantman]

Now all they need is a TV deal with Jefferson Pilot.

Since Gonzaga is joining for basketball, are they changing the school name to Gonzaga State, just to keep the theme?

 

[TideEngineer08]

Well I cannot wait for that

 

[colbysullivan]

The new PAC-?? is like someone promising a Lexus or BMW but shows up with a Ford Taurus and claims it is just as good.

I mean, have you seen how bad BMW is lately?

 

[BamaNation]

Can it be women’s flag football?

That’s gona be about the right level of football in the Pac12

 

[TitleWave]

They have to add at least one football school or they will lose their status as a conference. Unless the ncaa changes their own rules which would not surprise anyone

Lotta left coast exposure incentives for Awfulbren, if they wasn't a basketball school now

 

[DzynKingRTR]

texas state should be joining any day now. the whole conference is laughable

That was my thought when I saw this on the four letter network.

News outlets out of Texas are reporting that it's virtually a done deal, but the fact that Texas State actually took multiple days to consider the offer instead of immediately accepting speaks to just how little the vast majority of the college football world thinks of the PAC-whatever.

It's like asking an ugly person out on a date and they took a few days to think about it.

 

[PA Tide Fan]

They should call it the PAC-3 since there's only 3 teams (WSU,OSU and BSU) that have a legitimate chance of winning that conference for the foreseeable future.

Yeah, I saw where the big 12 commish said to go to a 5+11 format because "it is what the people want". Who are these people that want this crap?

There should be a requirement that the conference champion autobid only applies if you are ranked in the top ten.

While I agree with the idea of a minimum ranking, perhaps it should be simply 'ranked', period. With the playoff field expanding to 16 teams, if a team from the non-P4 was ranked in the Top 10, they'd be in anyway. Requiring a Top 25 ranking might at least keep a 4-5 loss team that happens to win a conference title game over the one decent team in that otherwise-weak conference from backing into the playoff.

All of this mess could have been avoided had the NCAA simply enforced their own criteria for 1-A membership. Probably two-thirds of these have-nots should still be in 1-AA or D2.

Works for me... Just something to keep a crappy 5 loss team from bumping us!

Our schedule is fiendish next year. 9-3 should be a play off trip unless we have really bad losses.

That’s funn…wait , didn’t Kathy Ireland kick FGs for Texas State

 

[BamaNation]

I think they could rename the conference “Western Land Grant Conference” and be pretty accurate.

I once had Pac12 fever. The doctor gave me some medication. I am doing much better now.

I had Pac Man Fever back in the 80s.

After California travels to the east coast for a couple of years they'll be begging to re-enter this new "power" conference!
