BigXII vs the new Pac (?) Who would be of interest?

[UTE98]

According to the current Sagarin ratings.

8 Utah 86.20
15 Kansas State 83.93
17 Oklahoma State
23 Central Florida(UCF) 80.96
24 Iowa State 80.48
28 Kansas 78.18

72 Houston 69.51
68 Cincinnati 71.53
67 TT 71.58
60 Colorado 72.87
51 ASU 74.67
50 BYU 74.67
37 Arizona 76.39
36 Baylor 76.49
32 West Virginia 77.28
30 TCU 78.03

35 Washington State 76.57
47 Oregon State 75.19

39 BSU 78.08
49 UNLV 74.69
80 Fresno State 67.93
99 San Jose State 63.51
103 Air Force 62.78
106 San Diego State 61.79
107 Wyoming 61.55
108 Colorado State 61.46

If the Pac could grab the following teams I’d be in favor of going back to the Pac 12.
1. Utah
2. ASU
3. Arizona
4. TCU
5. Kansas
6. Oklahoma St
7. Kansas St.
8. Stanford
9. Cal

10. OSU
11. WSU
12. BSU

13. CSU

Which other MWC teams are joining, the others don’t move the needle. Those teams are a much better league than the Big XII. But that’s not going to happen. OSU and WSU made about the only move they could. Travel would be better. But man those MWC teams added to the Pac are mostly dogs. And you’d have similar problems due to 16 teams and the bottom teams being horrible.

43 California 75.73
84 Stanford 66.80

I know this is current, Stanford should get better. And Cal is holding their own.

Which teams would you like to see in a league with Utah. I am watching OSU and WSU this year over current Big XII teams.

No autobid = no interest. No Fox/Espn deal = no interest.

Hypothetically with autobid and network deal at #3 revenue:

Cal and Stanford return from ACC, Utah, ASU, and Arizona return from Big12. And controversial but Ybu making 12 (the muffs ain’t coming and will spend the next 20 years trying to recover from the past two). Plus, it would p**s off Boise and SDSU as much, if not more than it would p**s us off if Ybu was in the conference. With Boise in the conference no Academic argument could ever be made for exclusion.
