The PAC12 THREAD v.2

[WhiteMamba]

Agreeed. Oregon would have had no challengers these past few seasons in the North and it would have been boring had it been Colorado and Utah in the north.

the split divisions would have been harder to say.

The North has been much stronger since the inception of the 12 of course.

But long term it will go back and forth.

I really have no complaints other than missing old pac10 schools 2 years at a time.

Just comes with the territory of 21st century cfb I suppose.

Other topics to discuss,
what if no colorado and BYU instead?
what if the push to 16 went through brining in the likes of Oklahoma and Texas?

NorCal and Oregon are so much alike as far as people go...guess one could toss in the "mossbacks" up North as well, minus the Cougz to the east of course.

Name me a top coach who hasn't moved around ( saban,Meyer, B Kelly, Stoops)? They all leave jobs for more money or more power . Hell even Peterson left Boise for Washington. USC loses coaches to the NFL if they are good (Robinson- Pete). They get fired if they suck.They don't lose head coaches to other colleges. It's just the way it is. So yeah, if he does well he might leave some day. But it wont be to a rival school.

As a Head Coach Bob Stoops has only coached at Oklahoma. Going into his 15 season now I believe.

If we did to to 16... Here is what I would like to see.

North

WSU
UW
Oregon
OSU
BYU
Utah
Cal
Stanford

South

USC
UCLA
ASU
Zona
Colorado
Texas Tech
Oky
Texas

 

[WhiteMamba]

Suddenly the South is far more scary than the north.

That would be kind of tough to figure out. Geographically speaking, Colorado would move to the North Division with Texas and Oklahoma joining the South.

But does the PAC really want a South Division with:

USC
UCLA
ASU
Arizona
Texas
Oklahoma
Utah

^ yep...brutal

Survive that South gaunlet and stick the "natty on a platty" right there...DONE!

Or, change how we determine the entire CC.

4 divisions of four. Each team plays 8 conf games. 4 division winners face off in a playoff.

Pacific Northwest

WSU
UW
Oregon
Oregon St

Californias

Stanford
Cal
USC
UCLA

Southwest

Zona
ASU
BYU
Utah

East

Texas
Oklahoma
Texas Tech
Colorado

The question then would be, how do they do the CCG? A semi-final before the CCG? Top 2 overall records?

I was thinking more like this but with the PNW and Cals as 1 and the other 8 as the other and have a champ game from that

 

[Vitamike]

Stay at 12.

I already hate how we skip conference foes as it is.

 

[Olyduck]

play other 7 then play 3 from other side each year and 3 nonconference games.

Ya, I like that idea.

Say

1 seed Oregon vs 4 seed ASU

2 seed OKy vs 3 seed USC

Home field applies to higher seed.^^^

SC and Oregon win, play in Levi's stadium for title.

We are just talking. Trying to get to 10k

Works that way also.

Just thinking out of the box for the heck of it.

 

[Olyduck]

the old WAC did a thing where even though there were 4 quadrants of 4 teams yey still had 2 divisions. and the division champs met for title game but it only lasted 2 years

 

[WhiteMamba]

play other 7 then play 3 from other side each year and 3 nonconference games.

13 games? Or are you including a potential ccg?

 

[Olyduck]

oh bad math so 7 division 2 other and 3 noncon

 

[SUBuddha]

That would almost beg teams to schedule soft OOC games, not that Army and Davis are that tough for Stanford, but I would hate to lose out on the continued game with the Domers, I freaking hate those guys.
