I completely understand that mindset. Part of me feels the same way, because I think the Oregon and Washington schools will be lost in the shuffle.
I had the same thought the first time I heard about the proposal. It really could make it that much tougher to get a top bowl game.
 
The school of hard knocks fams!

Man, i hope the "fams" thing never gets old. I chuckle every time someone uses it.
 
not sure if anyone saw this but it looks like there still wouldnt be a championship game.
The coach said it's possible the Pac-16 would push for two automatic bids to the BCS, one for each division champion. That potential bonanza could open the possibility of the two division champs from one league playing for the national title, and it would eliminate the need for a conference championship game.

"The Pac-10 doesn't believe in a championship game," the coach said. "And coaches in the Big 12 don't like it anyway."

I'm sorry, but I call bullshit.


How is it that the Texas legislation is letting UT and a&m go without Baylor?

because CU accepted the invite which means that the PAC only needs five schools now
so BU is moot

No, nz stands for New Zealand, not Montana.
 
So Pac 10 expansion in any form is 100% done ....


Repeat: Colorado to the Pac-10 on Thursday.

At that moment, it will become the Pac-11.


* Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State are committed to joining the Pac-10 if Nebraska joins the Big Ten … and they might do it even if Nebraska doesn’t join the Big Ten.

“There are a lot of questions as to whether the Big 12 can stay together anyway, with all the dirty laundry that’s been aired,” the source said.

* If the Big 12 somehow stays intact, the Pac-10 will become the Pac-12, with Utah as the 12th member — that means two six-team divisions and a football championship game.

I repeat: The Pac-10 is expanding.

My boy Frank Noblo from The Golf Channel is from NZ and said people fuck sheep there! He also said Oregon made him feel like he was back home, said the 2 places are very similar!(I told him we have no sheep here!)

These guys beg to differ about there being no sheep here. And your boy's name has an "i" in it. Nobilo. :)

They still need 5 schools. That's my point. According to many down here in Texas, the state might oppose Texas and Texas a&m moving to the PAC 10 without Baylor. That's what I am getting at. Nobody wants Baylor accept some of the people in the state legislature that are Baylor alums.
 
Colorado Officially Accepts Invite, Press Conference in an hour and a half

It's a done deal.

The University of Colorado will announce at an 11 a.m. Friday press conference that the school will leave the Big 12 and join the Pac-10.

Multiple sources confirmed the deal to the Camera early Thursday, and league officials are scheduled to be in Boulder on Friday for the announcement.

The new league will have at least 12 teams, and likely 16. Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State are also still on the Pac-10's docket, and most observers believe those schools are also ready to make the move to West Coast-based conference. The expanded conference would likely debut in time for the 2012 football season.

Colorado officials have spent the week working behind the scenes to make sure the school was part of the Pac-10's expansion plans. The deal was finalized Wednesday after CU's board of regents gave athletic director Mike Bohn the go-ahead to secure an invitation at a meeting Tuesday night in Denver.

Speculation has mounted for the last week that Colorado would be part of the Pac-10's massive expansion. The Camera reported last week that CU would be part of a six-team deal that would also include Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State.

That speculation hit a snag after Baylor officials became incensed when the Bears were not included in the group, and mounted a late campaign in the Lone Star State to replace Colorado.

Those efforts failed. While Baylor took its case to the public, CU officials quietly worked behind the scenes to procure an invitation from the Pac-10 and were successful.

What is also likely is that the Big 12 is a dead conference walking. Wednesday, it was reported that Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds told UT staffers that the conference couldn't be saved. Those reports surfaced after reports said that Nebraska was ready to join the Big Ten.

Colorado, however, did not want to hinge its decision based on that of any other school in the Big 12, including Texas and Nebraska. CU athletic department officials have been working on proving the school's worth to the Pac-10 for months, and they utilized a wide variety of CU resources - including prominent faculty members and administrators - to make their case.

Sources said Thursday morning that Nebraska has also scheduled a press conference on Friday to announce that it will become a part of the Big Ten. Without Colorado and Nebraska, the odds of the Big 12 surviving are extremely slim.

The Big 12 will have to play two more seasons with its current teams - and that could be two very stormy years.

A date to remember in the near future? Try Oct. 16, when Baylor visits Colorado and Texas plays at Nebraska.

My point is since CU is in and since OU isn't going w/o State; it's a fight between the BU people and the Tech people and BU no longer have the governor's office like they did during the formation of the Big XII. I personally think the Bears are SOL

If Colorado is in, which they just announced, then Baylor is assed out unless they can convince someone to consider Utah or BYU and make it the Pac-18.
 
Crazy week for the Pac 10.

Masoli gets the boot, USC gets hit hard with sanctions, and the Pac 10 expands.

This is like watching history in the making. It's exciting and unpredictable. Oregon and Oregon State should consider themselves the luckiest programs in college football (other than Washington State)... guaranteed games with Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, and Colorado. No one will ever again question strength of schedule at the end of season.. that is, if this avalance of activity doesn't blow up the BCS.
 
Can you Imagine how an Iowa State or Kansas, Kansas State feels right now?

damn...

They would do well in either the Mountain West, or join up with Nebraska in the Big 10, along with Notre Dame and maybe either Colorado State or Utah.

One thing that everyone is missing is that, while football is driving all of this, college basketball will now be ULTRA interesting.

They will be fine after swallowing a big helping of pride
They can join the newly expanded MWC with Boise
Baylor can join SMU, UTEP, Houston, and Rice (like they should have in the first place)
