The PAC as we know it won’t exist in 10-12 years. If BYU joined it and when they

I feel the B12 is on shakier ground, but who knows

I think being tied into the eastern half of the country is a good thing. The power brokers are all out east. College

Hard to argue otherwise when the PAC is so lowly rated as a conference and most of their stadiums in both major sports

Getting west coasters to care about college sports will be something the PAC

I don't think any better conferences will poach anyone left in the big 12.

FieroCoug

1/25/22 12:25pm

Only concern in my mind is the PAC12

krindorr

1/25/22 1:05pm

Though I should stipulate that's the worst-case scenario and I don't think it's likely the PAC12 expands

krindorr

1/25/22 1:26pm

I said better conferences. The pac could try to take some big 12 teams

FieroCoug

1/25/22 2:41pm

B12 is composed of solid programs committed to grid iron success with no where else to go

A thumbs up from TNT, I have arrived!!!

I think this depends on your viewpoint...

Waddamy

You always say that but you have no insight into why that would be… none

If the PAC had added BYU when they added Utah, I think they would be in a much

BYUtka

1/25/22 12:42pm

Agree

SouthernBlueBlood

1/25/22 12:45pm

Thank goodness they didn't. What a nightmare that would be. Being tied to that conference would just be a constant

YIsForBrigham

1/25/22 12:46pm

The PAC12 has some inherent disadvantages that strong leadership could have mitigated

hdx57

1/25/22 1:20pm

I can so easily see the B1G

Getting Colorado and Nebraska back would be epic case scenario

Sic'Em Beers

Nebraska is a 75% done deal

Stanford is a zero except on cougarboard. UCLA is a basketball school.

College football as we know it as an amateur sport may not exist and BYU may face some tough choices about continuing.

PJMort

1/25/22 12:48pm

BYU fans make way too much of a few years of struggle for the P12. The P12 needs USC to resurge and all signs

TFL

1/25/22 1:02pm

lol settle down there. Utah lost 5 games in 2019 and finished unranked. Let's chill out on that one.

mulletino

1/25/22 1:05pm

5 games? I don't think so. Utah finishing the regular season at #5 is a huge indicator

TFL

1/25/22 1:10pm

Oh sorry, you only lost 3 games. So close to undefeated! I guess I was thinking about your 5 loss 2018 season

mulletino

1/25/22 1:13pm

I said it back then, the 2018 ring ceremony was a KW strategy to push the team. Yes, cringey. But effective.

TFL

1/25/22 1:26pm

....they finished 11-3 and ranked #16. This year we finished 10-3 and ranked #19

krindorr

1/25/22 1:13pm

I already corrected myself above. So you can delete your little narrative you wrote that makes you sad.

mulletino

1/25/22 1:15pm

PAC needs to get fans interested again. Empty stadiums whether due to Covid or disinterest will take more than

Soupie

1/25/22 1:23pm

Amazing how much mileage they got out of those two Oregon wins...

SageOwl

1/25/22 2:39pm

And everyone ignores that they haven't beaten a non PAC FBS team in years.

BYUtka

1/25/22 3:05pm

I think it's the opposite.

TFL

1/25/22 3:31pm

Of course you see it that way. Dismantling those PAC doesn’t appear that impressive.

Soupie

1/25/22 3:47pm

Not me. It's the people doing the rankings. AP, Coaches, CFP, Computers, Vegas, Writers for next year's preseason

TFL

1/25/22 5:38pm

Are you really hanging your hat on UCLA and Stanford?

byublue42

1/25/22 4:01pm

That was the best evidence for ranking corruption ever.

Soupie

1/25/22 4:06pm

Amen.

The_Cuss

1/25/22 5:52pm

Yes. Winning 9 out of the last 10 with an impressive MOV is why Utah

TFL

1/25/22 6:05pm

Only because they are fortuitous to be part of the worst P5 conference since the

byublue42

1/25/22 7:09pm

I think you just focus too much on the negatives for schools and conferences you don't like. What you'll see is that

TFL

1/25/22 7:26pm

No not really, I focus on what gets too much credit when it isn’t warranted

byublue42

1/25/22 8:13pm

If Oregon beat tOSU in the Shoe, why did Utah that beat Oregon twice lose to tOSU? I mean tOSU was missing many players

slatecoug

1/25/22 10:45pm

Can you explain to me how Oregon beating tOSU in week 2 meant something, but BYU beating Utah week 2 was meaningless?

zsmooth

1/26/22 3:43am

Because we all like to cherry-pick

krindorr

1/26/22 5:30am

At this point most BYU fans I know admit BYU went 5-0 against the Pac cause the Pac sucks.

zsmooth

1/26/22 7:41am

I agree with you entirely. But there is a slight difference

TFL

1/26/22 1:25pm

Meaningless to whom?

TFL

1/26/22 1:20pm

That was a lot of words to not address my question.

zsmooth

1/27/22 6:10pm

Beating a perennial, blue blood playoff team in their house, where they hadn't lost in several years is a HUGE win

TFL

1/27/22 6:32pm

Okay, so your argument is “no the Pac didn’t suck last season cause Oregon beat tOSU in the second week…

zsmooth

1/27/22 6:39pm

No. The Pac-12 sucked last year. But so did the other conferences compared to the SEC. Utah turned a mediocre

TFL

1/27/22 6:50pm

Exactly. He discounts one because of week 2 excuses, but Oregon can hang their

The_Cuss

1/27/22 7:00pm

Amen.

zsmooth

1/27/22 11:04pm

Because it's completely irrelevant. Ohio State missed the playoffs bc of that game.

TFL

1/28/22 11:43am

No, they missed the playoffs because of their loss to Michigan.

byublue42

1/28/22 11:55am

A 1-loss tOSU gets in over Cincy. See Georgia.

TFL

1/28/22 12:02pm

Here’s the bottom line for me:

zsmooth

1/27/22 6:44pm

I agree 100% with this. But don’t forget their magical season included a loss to

The_Cuss

1/27/22 7:17pm

Not a magical season. Just an awesome one for fan engagement and entertainment. Huge exposure for the program

TFL

1/27/22 7:40pm

Oh, so not wins but fan excitement. And a bunch of hypotheticals based on

The_Cuss

1/28/22 7:50am

10 wins on a rebuild year is fantastic. Playing well against a blue blood at the Rose Bowl just adds

TFL

1/28/22 11:35am

This is never ending. Again congrats on the exposure and moral wins. Scoreboard

The_Cuss

1/28/22 1:01pm

For Utah, none of that is relevant though. That's the whole point

TFL

1/27/22 7:35pm

Other times when a conference cycles up and down, it's not caused by politics.

FieroCoug

1/25/22 2:42pm

BYU would quit the PAC on moral grounds w/in 3 years

Dr MoBYU

1/25/22 2:47pm

BYU fans shouldn’t be so happy to dance on the grave of the PAC-12

spinner

1/25/22 4:09pm

I've been arguing this for a while

krindorr

1/25/22 4:45pm

This is why the B1G will poach the PAC. Take their very best and leave the rest

Bluforever

1/25/22 5:50pm

If the Big 12 takes Oregon, Washington, UCLA, USC (for example)

krindorr

1/25/22 7:11pm

Would this be terrible? I think it would

Sic'Em Beers

1/26/22 1:45am

Could see it going a variety of ways

krindorr

1/26/22 6:33am

I would think it first goes to P4 with the PAC carved up into the BIG and B12

Nat Gas Man

1/26/22 6:02am

There's some things about that which just don't add up

krindorr

1/26/22 9:02am

All we have to do is “Just Win Baby”

Cosmo4life

1/25/22 8:30pm

Being in the Big 12 will ensure a spot for us when the whole system is overhauled.
