  1. There should be a spot, but realistically the only spots are in the SEC and B1G. OSU is not going to the B1G and the SEC clearly is prioritizing ACC schools, or OSU would have been going with OU and Texas. So I don't think there is a spot.
  2. I expect both conferences to make a failed attempt at raiding each other before ending up where they started. The Big 12 has a much better chance at getting a few schools than the Pac 12 does, simply because it offers better national exposure with reasonable kickoff times for schools playing in the mountain time zone. So maybe 40% chance of Big 12 expanding, and 10% chance of Pac managing to get a Big 12 school.
  3. I think OSU ends up left out, sadly. The Pac isn't worth joining anymore and the ACC will be raided next. Maybe they get into the SEC if the SEC is willing to cut dead weight, but that's a big maybe.
  4. The Big 12, Pac, and ACC may have some mutual interest in keeping each other viable. Best case for all of them is to end up tier 2, anyway, and there is value in a league having conferences that have regional rivalries intact. I doubt they are going to be able to see it that way, but they could put out a quality product with a lot of viewers on a streaming service, played at a division between FCS and SEC.
  5. So far, most have trended down.
  6. I look forward to observing Stanford and Cal as San Diego State seeks membership.
  7. The SEC is the only conference that really seems to know what it's doing. They secure regional rivalries with schools that actually care about playing each other, and that draws television audiences. The Big 10 is more focused on getting coast to coast subscribers to its channel than it is on putting a quality product on the field, and I think it will eventually fall apart. USC makes sense from a quality perspective, but I really don't care about watching them play midwest teams. I'd be more inclined to tune into a game where they play Washington State than Wisconsin. Those types of games are fun out of conference because they don't happen often. They aren't going to be fun when they play every year.
  8. I think the number of people actually watching the game matters a lot more today than it did when the Big 10 added Rutgers. The old cable model is dying.
  9. I don't think the Big 10 really wants a Rutgers west. They will take Stanford if Notre Dame tells them to, but otherwise they could really use another school that is going to regularly be ranked. Stanford appears to be drifting toward where they were before Harbaugh.
  10. Seems like we get about 10 years of stability every time things get shaken up. We're going to have a new Big 12 with a few extra Pac schools (I truly believe Stanford and Cal won't allow the poaching to work in the other direction) and the ACC will stick around until their GOR expires. Give teams a couple of extra years to move, and best case is 2040 before college football is a minor league NFL affiliate that nobody cares about.
  11. Personally, I'd like for this shit to drag out until after I'm dead and gone so I can continue enjoying college athletics as I know them.
  12. Yeah, that is also a solid idea.
  13. I think we are headed toward a super league that leaves the NCAA, and I don't see how the other sports continue business as usual under that scenario.
  14. It's all Nebraska's fault, really.
  15. Yeah, that is why the Big 12 needs to make a strong push to the Arizona schools while Oregon and Washington are actively trying to leave for the Big 10. Get that ship sinking so that staying isn't much of an option for the rest of them.
  16. The Big 12 should only try to get the Arizona schools. Wait and see if Washington/Oregon end up in the Big 10. Would be awful to get Utah/Colorado if they could have had Oregon/Washington.
  17. Yeah, and you'd just about have to resort to polls to choose your championship game participants.
  18. You must have forgotten that Missouri is in the SEC. No big deal. It happens to everyone.
  19. Only relative to the SEC and B1G. And everything is relative.
  20. USC and UCLA are basically PAC schools.
  21. It's going to be a whole lot easier for Illinois to win 7 or 8 games in the new Big 10 than it would be for them in the new Big 12. The Big 10 still has a lot of very shitty football schools. It's harder for them to make the CFP in the Big 10, but that's going to be all but impossible for Illinois to do in either scenario.
  22. I think the Big 10's next move is Notre Dame. With USC, that should be a no-brainer for them. Should be.
  23. Nah, you can still vote. It just won't count.
  24. If they nuke the filibuster, they could expand the court. That way the court will always rule for the party in power. It's a whole lot worse than what we used to have, but also a whole lot better than the current court ruling in favor of the party that was just voted out every time.
  25. You need a jury that will include at least 6 people who actually voted for the man to see through his bullshit.
