@@Patrick-sg7cmthat’s the only real possible solution, that keeps the four schools together. But, they also don’t want all the MW schools.

Maybe UNLV and UTAH State. I say that due to academics. Sports wise, it’d be better to grab Boise and Fresno, and that may keep them quasi P5.

ESPN would pay 50 -60, ( at 12 teams) and apple 100 ( 120 for 12 ) per year.
@damienk2652 it is risky for sure. The safe route would be for the PAC 4 to just merge with either the Mountain West or the AAC. However the disadvantage of that is, it would be unlikely that they keep their Power 5 status. However there's no guarantee that even if they go through all the trouble of rebuilding the PAC 12 that they would still be able to maintain their Power 5 status. I would almost say that no matter what, it's a forgone conclusion that the PAC 12 maintaining their status as a power 5 conference is very slim.
these schools need to have basketball and football in one conference, then do regional conferences (like the old days) for non revenue sports. its the best way to handle it. you still have the two big sports funding the little sports, but it cuts way down on time and travel for women's field hockey, and syncronized water dancing.
The stadium is a revenue generator, the bonds are not the issue. The staff and other budget items are the issue if Oregon State has a big drop in revenue from other sources.
I’m only gonna enjoy 2023 college football season and not worry about what’s happening with these college programs changing conferences from 2024 and beyond. I don’t want to look way ahead to 2024 and beyond just 2023 season
To be fair, they have been criticized for years for not investing. UCF, Cincy, and Houston all began investing into their athletic programs that make money in the last decade. Cincy did it after being kicked out of the P6 club when the Big East folded. UCF only had one year in the Big East, but they have been football crazed for years. Seriously it's kind of scary how big that fanbase is. Houston has long been a sleeping giant imo. Finally woken up. So it's a tough situation Oregon State finds itself in. They want to improve their football program. Timing just was unfortunate.
Despite the Men's Basketball National Championship locally the UConn Athletic department is bleeding money due to our switch to FBS football 20 years ago and the subsequent venue built 20 years ago assuming the at the time growing football would at least be bowl eligible most years. Since the ending of the Big East football conference (which got us some solid talent from florida) the football program went from a Fiesta Bowl to rock bottom 1-2 win seasons. The costs to maintain the stadium and D-1 travel/amenities costs more than the revenue coming in. Then combine the fact that the Athletic Department has to pay Kevin Ollie back more $ after losing in court. This is why I was hoping UConn could make a major conference and generate more revenue to offset huge losses in athletics.
New England is not a college sports area. Other than UConns NCAA Basketball. UConn, UMass should have never went to FBS, and Boston College is no good. So nobody there watches local college football and since the patriots are no good, football is not that important there. Texas is where all three HS, College and Pro football matters. There are High School stadiums in Texas, plural, multiple, that cost hundreds of millions, and nobody complains. My home town is maybe 75,000 and we have four stadiums, nobody shared and we have field turf and a 60 yard field turn indoor practice facility. The Cincinnati Bengals didn’t have one until a few years ago.
It wasn't just Clemson and FSU voting against Cal and Stanford. UNC and NCST also voted against. And EVERY ACC school has tied their GOR to the ACC through the 2035-36 academic year, which makes leaving that conference EXTREMELY cost prohibitive.
They will eventually figure a way out. It would have been fantastic for FSU, Clemson, and UNC if NC State also voted to add Stanford and Cal because then the ACC would be forcing them to fly all the way out to California to play the Bay Area schools against their will. Adding Stanford and Cal doesn't add any positive revenue to the conference, it probably costs more money to fly across the country to play them. They would be able to argue that the ACC's old GOR is void because they never signed a new one after the ACC chose to change their original contract to a new one, by adding new members. By the time they figured it all out in court in 10 years they would be long gone. The ACC probably wouldn't even exist by then. Even if they lost in court they would be placed on some sort of affordable payment plan to pay for damages.
Why does Oregon have a good TV market, but Oregon State doesn't? They are in the same state a short distance from each other. Oregon and Oregon State's alumni live in the same places.
1. they dont really 2. thanks to Nike, they get favorable TV time where oregon state games get stuck on FS3 or ROOT sports at 8pm or they get put on Pac12 network ONLY which a large portion of the geographic area the conference covers cannot get. 3. They have TONS of gear in the bargain bins at wallmart so they get lots of bandwagon fans.
I think that is a myth. Oregon State has a very good TV market and the Ducks TV market is fickle. Their fans are all fair weather fans and they jump hard off the bandwagon when they lose, while Oregon State fans stay very faithful through anything.
Wazzu is in a very similar situation with their stadium renovation from a decade ago. Still think Wazzu and OSU should go to ESPN as a package deal as independents to cover the late-night slot every single week. And I highly disagree with the idea that the two schools don’t have a good TV market, since you aren’t counting the two very large markets that contain the vast majority of their alumni. Wazzu in particular has shown they can carry Seattle almost as well as UW. It’s like claiming Florida State doesn’t carry the South Florida market because Tallahassee is eight hours from Miami.
The PAC has 2 years of probation to maintain their power 5 status, so technically they just need to added 2 to 3 schools that could gain P5 status within that time frame (though I don't know if that is possible).
They need to have at least 8 teams to remain a conference so they would need 4. I would like them to get Boise St., San Diego state and maybe SMU and Texas St.
This sucks im np osu fan but i like to watch them play they arent a power house but have knocked off some power teams including my Irish in the feistabowl the usc game years ago was alot of fun now money is killing the fun
On that first picture I see two super conferences and one conference with a lot of teams. Besides, the big10 will eventually want Texas Tech. They’re already on life support before anything even happens
If you look behind the curtain in the B1G, you will see about 7-8 pathetic teams. SEC is far tougher than B1G. B12 has no blue bloods but good teams top to bottom.
In any scenario I expect Stanford and Cal to stay together. The annual Cal-Stanford game sells out and is the only game that either school really cares about. Going independent is a tall task. Currently the only independents in football are Army West Point, Notre Dame, UConn and UMass.
ACC has a tv contract, and if 4 schools leave, that’s fine. They can add the best 9 football schools in the Midwest and west schools. They will have until 2036 to build their programs. The Notre Dame upcoming deal is the elephant in the room. NBC will probably offer 40-50 million plus ACC 10 million. Can Notre Dame stay independent? at 50 million a year and be happy while the Big 10 and SEC will be around 80 million.
OSU should have been like UA and tried to work an in with the Big 12 just in case everything fell apart like it did with the conference. They had to know UO and UW was leaving the conference.
@@malcolmjones27 really? I had heard that Florida State to the SEC was a done deal. I'd love to see him in the big ten instead though. Either Florida, State or Miami would be fine for me. We just need to get a Florida team
Right. Because Big 12 schools want to go to a conference stuck in a GoR until 2036 (with half of the schools trying to get out) while the Big 12 will be renegotiating their media rights long before then. Not to mention, the Big 12 is already making more per school than the ACC.
@bryanjones8778 ehhh they can always ask for more money in there deal. Cam break the grant of rights and ask for more. But big 12 can lose it all like the pac12
@@rumblingcds Agree. Oregon States viewership is not really the problem and I am not sure why all these scenarios treat them like they are a nobody. This program is now a top notch program with a great new facility and one of the best young coaches in the NCAA. I really hate to see them lose what they have now started.
I truly believe they are going to have to redefine the divisions, Tier I and Tier II FBS and let the smaller schools play for their own championship. I would love to see relegation
totally agree. i've been saying this for past couple years. There should be 2 or 3 different tier playoffs. Gold, Silver, maybe Bronze. If you're a Boise St, Oregon State, Tulane, East Carolina, etc. you want a playoff for the schools ranked 50-100.
History is repeating itself, as this is the situation for the creation of the FCS in the first place. The NCAA should of put limits on the number schools moving into FBS to begin with (as now the FBS has been watered down). It took long enough for the NCAA realize their mistake and thus they are increasing the requirements to move from FCS to FBS. Kinda of too late though given the situation we are in.
@@tomsettles6873 that is what the FCS was suppose to be in the first place along with division II and III. Alot of these schools should of not have been allowed to become FBS to begin with.
@@tomsettles6873no, you don’t, especially if you are a team like OrST. FCS and D-II have been dying for years, bleeding teams to FBS, D-III and dropping football altogether. Once you hew teams off from the big show all the money dries up and what is left over isn’t enough to cover the women’s scholarship obligations that the number of men’s scholarships football requires generates. Especially if the new super-FCS has the same number of schollys as FBS. Oh, and one more thing: Pro-rel is literally NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN IN AMERICA! People need to stop talking about it.
Relegation is the most fair/equitable format across the board, and the ratings and national interest would be BONKERS. But it would take at least 1/3 of the P5 presidents to willingly go against their egos and wallets, which will never happen
As a Beavs fan, I am done watching the rest of college football. The sport is headed in the wrong direction where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. These blueblood teams will have it good but ultimately, people will lose interest watching UCLA vs Rutgers. Never mind the fans not traveling for those games.
I think the BIG would take Georgia Tech and Miami over FSU and Clemson. That plants flags in the 2 biggest cities in the SEC. They want into our backyard for recruiting.
Lmao that’s list doesn’t even have duke yes is duke football program boooty yea but basketball and you go the sec and get that football money that can be a giant
The SEC has no interest in Miami. (In particular, Florida is not a big fan of adding Miami.) As much as I want to see FSU in the B1G, that's going to be a tossup with the SEC. If the B1G wins the battle for FSU, their partner will be Miami.
You know, I find it really funny that the folks that are stating that the SEC isn't interested in Miami are the same people that keep saying that the SEC wants FSU. You're incorrect on that. There's a reason why he's making that statement in the video. The SEC has zero reasons to include FSU. However, the market that Miami is in is prime. It's not about popularity or who has the larger fanbase, etc., It's about money. The market that Miami is in would add to the SEC's bottom line. The market that FSU is in is already under their belt. If they add FSU they would be paying FSU more than they'd make by adding them. This move makes zero sense.
@@malcolmjones27 no it's not up to me. But, it's not just me. Ask any SEC guy, we don't want Miami. Yall will be fine in the BIG. Would you rather be the red headed step child of the SEC? Or a solid member of the BIG.
When it comes to football are conferencea really concerned about academics now? There are only so many players who are truly pursuing real degrees at a place like Stanford and playing football at an NIL or NFL draft level. Time to let go of this idea your elite players are true student athletes. More like exceptionally athletic students. Who can name the 1st round draft pick who also got his degree in engineering or biochem before he went to the league?
No, FSU is more valuable then Miami. FSU is a large state school with a large alumni and fan base. Miami is a rinky dink snooty elite private school with a tiny alumni base and an unfaithful fan base that hasn't been seen in 20+ years. They both have similar academic ratings and Miami already has their AAU membership. FSU meets all the qualifications, they just need to get voted in and the B1G has the academic resources and influence to help them get it done. The B1G should probably take both of them but if they can only add one then the correct answer is FSU.
Maybe we should put a salary like cap on these conferences. Lets say you go over 20 teams, you have to pick up One CUSA team to go with each one over you pick..
@@davidb3422 , Florida can vote "no" all they want but if enough of the other programs in the SEC vote "yes" than there's nothing that Florida can do about it.
To my mind we already have a power 2.5 only and the B12/ACC count as the half. Going back to 1998 thru last year, (the 1st year of the BCS championship games) and a nice round 25 years, there have been 250 potential teams ranked in the top 10 in the final AP poll. 67.2% of them in 2024 will be in either the SEC or B10, (36.4 in SEC and 30.8 in the B10), that leaves only 32.3% for every other school, ie less than 1/3rd. The B12 will be 12%, the ACC will be 11.6% and everyone else will be just 9.2% and that includes ND, Marshall, Boise a couple times, Tulane 100% of the national Titles will be in the SEC, B10 and ACC and only 2 of the potential 50 teams to play in the championship game come from outside those 3 conferences, TCU last year who got beat in a historic beat down and ND back in 2012 who lost by 28. to my mind the B12 is barely hanging on to P5 status and if FSU, Clemson and Miami leave the ACC they become 2nd class as well
Thank you for pointing out that once Texas and Oklahoma are gone they become pretenders. Since 1970 Colorado and BYU has your only football championships.
Only a couple of teams from each of the SEC and B1G make up those stats as well. Basically there are about 10 top tier teams and the rest can’t compete for a championship.
@@bryanjones8778 Name me the last national title the B12 will have in its roster of teams after Oklahoma and Texas leave? Colorado from 33 years ago, BYU 40 years ago and TCU 85 years ago,,,,,, that;s it. How many top 10 finishes since 1998 for the new B12? 30, Compare that to the lower part of the B10 ie not OSU, PSU, Nebraska, UM, USC or Oregon, ie taking the big boys out, ,,,,,, Wisconsin has 7, Iowa has 5, MSU has 5, Purdue has 3, Illinois - 1, NW - 1, MInn - 1, UCLA - 2, Washington - 3, Rutgers - 2, thats 30 not including the big boys. That is what is left in the B12, ie the lower half of the B10
@@Landmantx I dont disagree about championships. But in terms of overall confernce talent the new B12 is woefully lacking. The new B12 has 30 top 10 finishes and zero national titles to their name once Okie and Texas leave since 1998. Guess who else can claim those same numbers?? The lower 2/3rds of the B10. MSU, WIS, Iowa, Minn, Ill, NW, UCLA, Wash, Rutgers and MD, Ind and Purdue can claim 30 top 10 finishes since 1998,, The B12 teams will have 2 ncaa playoff teams, TCU from last year and UC,,,, well same here for the lower part of the B10, Wash and MSU have both made the playoffs, so even ignoring OSU, UM, PSU, Nebr, USC and Oregon, the B12 at best matches whats left in the B10's lower 2/3rds. The SEC is clearly #1 with 8 schools with National titles since 1998, if you go back to 1997, then the B10 has 4 teams, The SEC has 12 schools with top 10 finishes out of their 16. IN the B10 it is 16 of their 18 have at least 1 year in the top 10 since 1998, (only Indiana and MD have missed and they have a 12th and 11th respectively in that time) only 7 of the 16 schools in the B12 can say that. with no national title since Colorado's in the early 90's
Those Big 12 teams aren’t relevant. Eventually the B10 & SEC will decide they don’t need anyone else but each other. 40-48 schools will ditch the NCAA, the Big 12, ACC, whatever is left of the PAC, and form their own league of college football. Playing strictly each other and by their own rules. What we are witnessing are the labor pains of the birth of a new college football era.
Why do people assume that the B1G is going to wait for the SEC to play catch-up, by adding more members, before they expand further? They don't have to have an equal number of members because this isn't a fantasyland. This is big business worth Billions of dollars with the future of college football at stake. The B1G negotiated a better TV deal that already has the escalator clauses built into it to add new members because they planned ahead. ESPN is broke because they can't even afford to pay the SEC for a 9th conference game. So the B1G isn't going to wait around while valuable additions are available if they are going to take over the sport before the SEC because the NCAA refuses to do anything. Once the B1G adds ND then it's over because the SEC will never be able to catch up to them financially no matter who they add. The B1G needs to expand their national footprint into the South for the recruiting.
Man get over it. By the time the BIG does what the SEC has done the past 20 years you'll be passed on to another life.. You seem to get a kick out of the BIG10 trying to purchase those accomplishments and accolades by adding teams. lol
I don’t understand some of these schools . You have alumni don’t you? Get donations from your alumni. I’ve given almost 100,000 dollars in donations to my school since I graduated. I suggest you call your alumni
The Big 12 is still a junior league. Had they maintained Texas & A&M, OU and Nebraska and added USC , Oregon and Washington they would been the top conference
Did TCU make the national championship last year? Beating Michigan in the playoff? And Cincinnati the year before? Yeah so stfu, the big 12 isnt on Georgia or Bama's level, but they can compete with the big10 year in and year out

They need to have at least 8 teams to remain a conference so they would need 4. I would like them to get Boise St., San Diego state and maybe SMU and Texas St.
@@TimStacyGraywhy are people so fascinated with Texas State? They’ve never even made a bowl appearance
@@TimStacyGray Texas State is a joke.
Can the Big Ten kick out Maryland, Iowa, Illinois, and Rutgers?
I think unc and Duke r a pair like Oklahoma Texas , usc UCLA if u take 1 u got to take the other
Who's logo is bottom right side of the big 12? Duke?
ACC makes should make sense to Cal/Stanford - great academics. Bring in entire PAC 4 and rename ACC and it might be salvageable
This sucks im np osu fan but i like to watch them play they arent a power house but have knocked off some power teams including my Irish in the feistabowl the usc game years ago was alot of fun now money is killing the fun
No Syracuse and Boston College?
On that first picture I see two super conferences and one conference with a lot of teams.
Besides, the big10 will eventually want Texas Tech. They’re already on life support before anything even happens
If you look behind the curtain in the B1G, you will see about 7-8 pathetic teams. SEC is far tougher than B1G. B12 has no blue bloods but good teams top to bottom.
I don't see notre Dame and Florida state going into the big 10.
In any scenario I expect Stanford and Cal to stay together. The annual Cal-Stanford game sells out and is the only game that either school really cares about. Going independent is a tall task. Currently the only independents in football are Army West Point, Notre Dame, UConn and UMass.
Stanford could go independent, but Cal is hurting for money so they couldn't
Duke football is meh, but there are enough other reasons to consider Duke. Just the UNC rivalry is worth it. But I don't see where they would land.
No Stanford to the Big 10, I don’t care, but I’ve heard FSU does not want the SEC at all. They had an opportunity several times and said no.
Big 12 will be a big confrence not a super conference. Its more like a B- league.
By Virginia law Virginia and Virginia Tech have to be in the same conference
ACC has a tv contract, and if 4 schools leave, that’s fine. They can add the best 9 football schools in the Midwest and west schools. They will have until 2036 to build their programs. The Notre Dame upcoming deal is the elephant in the room. NBC will probably offer 40-50 million plus ACC 10 million. Can Notre Dame stay independent? at 50 million a year and be happy while the Big 10 and SEC will be around 80 million.
OSU should have been like UA and tried to work an in with the Big 12 just in case everything fell apart like it did with the conference. They had to know UO and UW was leaving the conference.
We did. The Big 12 turned us down. Frankly, I don't know what we can do. A MWC merger is a death sentence.
Notre Dame isn't going to the B1G. Also, switch Miami and Fl St's conferences there. The B1G wants Miami and Miami just got AAU status to help that
Actually, Miami could get an invite from either the SEC or the Big10. The SEC is not going to extend an invite to FSU. Trust me on this one!
@@malcolmjones27 really? I had heard that Florida State to the SEC was a done deal. I'd love to see him in the big ten instead though. Either Florida, State or Miami would be fine for me. We just need to get a Florida team
Big 12 has a smaller TV deal. So they won't get most ACC schools. I can see alot of big12 teams going to ACC
Right. Because Big 12 schools want to go to a conference stuck in a GoR until 2036 (with half of the schools trying to get out) while the Big 12 will be renegotiating their media rights long before then. Not to mention, the Big 12 is already making more per school than the ACC.
@bryanjones8778 ehhh they can always ask for more money in there deal. Cam break the grant of rights and ask for more. But big 12 can lose it all like the pac12
What happened to duke?
College football has lost its way…
How can you say WAZZU has terrible TV viewership??? They’re always one of the highest ranked in the PAC 12!
Oregon state had better viewership than most of the four corner schools last year too.
Look at the College game day broadcast! Best ever!
@@rumblingcds Agree. Oregon States viewership is not really the problem and I am not sure why all these scenarios treat them like they are a nobody. This program is now a top notch program with a great new facility and one of the best young coaches in the NCAA. I really hate to see them lose what they have now started.
I truly believe they are going to have to redefine the divisions, Tier I and Tier II FBS and let the smaller schools play for their own championship. I would love to see relegation
totally agree. i've been saying this for past couple years. There should be 2 or 3 different tier playoffs. Gold, Silver, maybe Bronze. If you're a Boise St, Oregon State, Tulane, East Carolina, etc. you want a playoff for the schools ranked 50-100.
I don't see any other way.
History is repeating itself, as this is the situation for the creation of the FCS in the first place. The NCAA should of put limits on the number schools moving into FBS to begin with (as now the FBS has been watered down). It took long enough for the NCAA realize their mistake and thus they are increasing the requirements to move from FCS to FBS. Kinda of too late though given the situation we are in.
@@tomsettles6873 that is what the FCS was suppose to be in the first place along with division II and III. Alot of these schools should of not have been allowed to become FBS to begin with.
@@tomsettles6873no, you don’t, especially if you are a team like OrST. FCS and D-II have been dying for years, bleeding teams to FBS, D-III and dropping football altogether. Once you hew teams off from the big show all the money dries up and what is left over isn’t enough to cover the women’s scholarship obligations that the number of men’s scholarships football requires generates. Especially if the new super-FCS has the same number of schollys as FBS.
Oh, and one more thing: Pro-rel is literally NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN IN AMERICA! People need to stop talking about it.
There is zero chance OSU Joins the MWC.
What do you think they will do?
@@SurfCityBillAAC
Independent then
Notre Dame will never be in the big 10
Relegation is the most fair/equitable format across the board, and the ratings and national interest would be BONKERS. But it would take at least 1/3 of the P5 presidents to willingly go against their egos and wallets, which will never happen
SDSU is not going to the Big 12.
As a Beavs fan, I am done watching the rest of college football. The sport is headed in the wrong direction where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. These blueblood teams will have it good but ultimately, people will lose interest watching UCLA vs Rutgers. Never mind the fans not traveling for those games.
I can't see Georgia Tech being left out? They have 4 national titles, and the Atlanta market? This is coming from a UGA fan
I think the BIG would take Georgia Tech and Miami over FSU and Clemson. That plants flags in the 2 biggest cities in the SEC. They want into our backyard for recruiting.
Sounds like The Snooze Bowl 😂
Georgia Tech on the outside?
I don't see that either! I think the Big 10 will pick them up for the Atlanta market
Lmao that’s list doesn’t even have duke yes is duke football program boooty yea but basketball and you go the sec and get that football money that can be a giant
The SEC has no interest in Miami. (In particular, Florida is not a big fan of adding Miami.)
As much as I want to see FSU in the B1G, that's going to be a tossup with the SEC.
If the B1G wins the battle for FSU, their partner will be Miami.
You know, I find it really funny that the folks that are stating that the SEC isn't interested in Miami are the same people that keep saying that the SEC wants FSU. You're incorrect on that. There's a reason why he's making that statement in the video. The SEC has zero reasons to include FSU. However, the market that Miami is in is prime. It's not about popularity or who has the larger fanbase, etc., It's about money. The market that Miami is in would add to the SEC's bottom line. The market that FSU is in is already under their belt. If they add FSU they would be paying FSU more than they'd make by adding them. This move makes zero sense.
@@malcolmjones27we don't want the thugs of Miami, none of us wants Miami. Miami will never be SEC. EVER!!!!
@@aaronlovell6026 , 🤣😂😅😆 Nice try! But, it’s not up to you. Sorry. Deal with it.

Go beavs 😢
They going to the AAC
When it comes to football are conferencea really concerned about academics now? There are only so many players who are truly pursuing real degrees at a place like Stanford and playing football at an NIL or NFL draft level. Time to let go of this idea your elite players are true student athletes. More like exceptionally athletic students. Who can name the 1st round draft pick who also got his degree in engineering or biochem before he went to the league?

Swap Out FSU with Miami for Accuracy
No, FSU is more valuable then Miami. FSU is a large state school with a large alumni and fan base. Miami is a rinky dink snooty elite private school with a tiny alumni base and an unfaithful fan base that hasn't been seen in 20+ years. They both have similar academic ratings and Miami already has their AAU membership. FSU meets all the qualifications, they just need to get voted in and the B1G has the academic resources and influence to help them get it done. The B1G should probably take both of them but if they can only add one then the correct answer is FSU.
@@roris5882Yes, but the SEC will want FSU if they go anywhere over Miami. Miami will have the AAU status that the B1G values
Duke would be of more interest to Yormark than Virginia Tech
Flip FSU and Miami because academically FSU doesn’t fit into the big 10 and the presidents in the big 10 take that very seriously.
Noice
I sure wish the big12 would have taken Oregon state instead of Utah…..
Maybe we should put a salary like cap on these conferences. Lets say you go over 20 teams, you have to pick up One CUSA team to go with each one over you pick..
Maybe we should put a salary cap on your income so you only make minimum wage since you want socialism for yourself.
Would love to see Stanford and ND join the B10. FSU, Clemson, Miami and NC joins the SEC.
I've heard Florida does not want Miami in the SEC. ND does not want to join the B1G. Worried that they would become another Northwestern.
@@davidb3422 , Florida can vote "no" all they want but if enough of the other programs in the SEC vote "yes" than there's nothing that Florida can do about it.
Oregon State, Washington State, CAL, Stanford, Boise State, SDSU, Fresno St, AIr Force, The PAC West 8.
All western mountain based.
To my mind we already have a power 2.5 only and the B12/ACC count as the half. Going back to 1998 thru last year, (the 1st year of the BCS championship games) and a nice round 25 years, there have been 250 potential teams ranked in the top 10 in the final AP poll. 67.2% of them in 2024 will be in either the SEC or B10, (36.4 in SEC and 30.8 in the B10), that leaves only 32.3% for every other school, ie less than 1/3rd. The B12 will be 12%, the ACC will be 11.6% and everyone else will be just 9.2% and that includes ND, Marshall, Boise a couple times, Tulane
100% of the national Titles will be in the SEC, B10 and ACC and only 2 of the potential 50 teams to play in the championship game come from outside those 3 conferences, TCU last year who got beat in a historic beat down and ND back in 2012 who lost by 28.
to my mind the B12 is barely hanging on to P5 status and if FSU, Clemson and Miami leave the ACC they become 2nd class as well
The Big 12 is barely hanging on to P5 status? LOL
Thank you for pointing out that once Texas and Oklahoma are gone they become pretenders. Since 1970 Colorado and BYU has your only football championships.
Only a couple of teams from each of the SEC and B1G make up those stats as well. Basically there are about 10 top tier teams and the rest can’t compete for a championship.
@@bryanjones8778 Name me the last national title the B12 will have in its roster of teams after Oklahoma and Texas leave? Colorado from 33 years ago, BYU 40 years ago and TCU 85 years ago,,,,,, that;s it.
How many top 10 finishes since 1998 for the new B12? 30,
Compare that to the lower part of the B10 ie not OSU, PSU, Nebraska, UM, USC or Oregon, ie taking the big boys out, ,,,,,,
Wisconsin has 7, Iowa has 5, MSU has 5, Purdue has 3, Illinois - 1, NW - 1, MInn - 1, UCLA - 2, Washington - 3, Rutgers - 2, thats 30 not including the big boys. That is what is left in the B12, ie the lower half of the B10
@@Landmantx I dont disagree about championships.
But in terms of overall confernce talent the new B12 is woefully lacking.
The new B12 has 30 top 10 finishes and zero national titles to their name once Okie and Texas leave since 1998. Guess who else can claim those same numbers??
The lower 2/3rds of the B10.
MSU, WIS, Iowa, Minn, Ill, NW, UCLA, Wash, Rutgers and MD, Ind and Purdue can claim 30 top 10 finishes since 1998,,
The B12 teams will have 2 ncaa playoff teams, TCU from last year and UC,,,,
well same here for the lower part of the B10, Wash and MSU have both made the playoffs, so even ignoring OSU, UM, PSU, Nebr, USC and Oregon, the B12 at best matches whats left in the B10's lower 2/3rds.
The SEC is clearly #1 with 8 schools with National titles since 1998, if you go back to 1997, then the B10 has 4 teams, The SEC has 12 schools with top 10 finishes out of their 16. IN the B10 it is 16 of their 18 have at least 1 year in the top 10 since 1998, (only Indiana and MD have missed and they have a 12th and 11th respectively in that time)
only 7 of the 16 schools in the B12 can say that. with no national title since Colorado's in the early 90's
Those Big 12 teams aren’t relevant. Eventually the B10 & SEC will decide they don’t need anyone else but each other. 40-48 schools will ditch the NCAA, the Big 12, ACC, whatever is left of the PAC, and form their own league of college football. Playing strictly each other and by their own rules. What we are witnessing are the labor pains of the birth of a new college football era.
ND will join the MAC! It’s the only conference they could win in!
😂 Look on the Bright Side, Oregon State Will Have "One of the Best" Football Conferences in the Mountain West! 🥴
Stanford and Cal can make like the state of California and rot.
Go Beavs!!
Why do people assume that the B1G is going to wait for the SEC to play catch-up, by adding more members, before they expand further? They don't have to have an equal number of members because this isn't a fantasyland. This is big business worth Billions of dollars with the future of college football at stake. The B1G negotiated a better TV deal that already has the escalator clauses built into it to add new members because they planned ahead. ESPN is broke because they can't even afford to pay the SEC for a 9th conference game. So the B1G isn't going to wait around while valuable additions are available if they are going to take over the sport before the SEC because the NCAA refuses to do anything. Once the B1G adds ND then it's over because the SEC will never be able to catch up to them financially no matter who they add. The B1G needs to expand their national footprint into the South for the recruiting.
Man get over it. By the time the BIG does what the SEC has done the past 20 years you'll be passed on to another life.. You seem to get a kick out of the BIG10 trying to purchase those accomplishments and accolades by adding teams. lol
I don’t understand some of these schools . You have alumni don’t you? Get donations from your alumni. I’ve given almost 100,000 dollars in donations to my school since I graduated. I suggest you call your alumni
The Big 12 is still a junior league. Had they maintained Texas & A&M, OU and Nebraska and added USC , Oregon and Washington they would been the top conference
Did TCU make the national championship last year? Beating Michigan in the playoff? And Cincinnati the year before? Yeah so stfu, the big 12 isnt on Georgia or Bama's level, but they can compete with the big10 year in and year out
That's y they're focusing on basketball. They want to have the best basketball conference in the land
They need to add Georgia Tech too and Syracuse to the Big12
@@ct5589 I don’t want to hate on TCU, but that was awful in the title game and Cincinnati is not established and no one in Ohio recognizes anyone but OSU. I’m a Sooner Fan but I still like the teams in the Big 12, but they don’t match up with the Big Ten or SEC, not even close.
@@brianpoole7581 the rumor is Pittsburgh, NC State, Louisville and one other ACC team to the Big 12, FSU and UND to the Big 10, and Miami, Clemson, Virginia and North Carolina to the SEC then you have 60 teams and three conferences that are in the playoffs. That’s what I’ve heard from good sources.
