I agree. My preference has always been to follow the Zona schools and with Utah and Colorado there it is a plus. I still don't like big conferences where you don't play each school annually because it is hard to build rivalries throughout the conference. Travel in the B12 might be a push versus what we see in the MWC as the only school at altitude would be Colorado. We would travel across two time zones frequently and three occasionally.

I don't see the B12 dropping anyone. Were the ACC to get raided and not look west, the three schools you mention would be a good geographic fit.

But, imagine if the PAC7 had not panicked. You could have had a conference like this:

Cal
Stanford
Ore. St
Wazzu
Utah
Arizona
ASU
SDSU

Potentially

UNLV
CSU

That would have been a very good conference that made geographic sense and still would have had an auto-bid to the CFP.

Would have been a great conference that would have gotten a decent tv deal.



Imho

Clemson
Fsu

Sec


Virginia
Duke
Notre dame


Big ten.


The rest will scramble.


Book it.

North Carolina rather than Duke.
