Pac-12/Big 10/Big 12 Realignment

[pezsez1]

Of course an Ohio State/USC matchup gets major viewing but again (I posed this in the thread earlier) is a UCLA/Rutgers game going to get high viewership????

Give it three years and B1G fans won't know the difference between USC and Minnesota.

Just a thought. San Diego State has been competitive in football the past few years. They'd likely be ecstatic to join the Pac-12.

If we could pull TCU or SMU in, that would bring in both the San Diego and Dallas/Fort Worth markets.

It's not L.A., but those are still some significant TV markets.

Would "TV eyes' care about say an Oregon State/San Diego State match up? My guess is probably not. That's what this is about. Of course an Ohio State/USC matchup gets major viewing but again (I posed this in the thread earlier) is a UCLA/Rutgers game going to get high viewership???? There's lots at stake here for sure.

I get what you're saying. Still, SDU wouldn't be playing OSU every year, they'd be playing Oregon every other year, as well, so there will be tit for tat. Even SEC teams still have to play Vanderbilt, as well as a cupcake team.

I've heard some people saying that joining the Big 12 would be better for Oregon since it's a much weaker conference and we could dominate it and go to the CFP most seasons like Oklahoma (when it was there), unlike the Big 10 where Ohio State and USC (tho the Trojans are much worse than the Buckeyes) are present.

I'm growing fond of the idea now and I wanna see Oregon playing Kansas now, yes I know we would slaughter them but we have never won against the Jayhawks in football, plus we could get the opportunity of scheduling more diverse home and home series with teams like Alabama since 3 of our future series' are gonna be against Big 12 teams.

There are some cons like the long-travels to play West Virginia and UCF tho.

IF its offered, why not join the SEC? Lanning already knows how to recruit the area, we could recruit from the same pool as LSU, Georgia and Alabama. If we are going to make a once in a lifetime move, go big or go home! Can you imagine being able to draw southeastern kids to Oregon because they get a chance to compete in the SEC? I say its a win/win

The SEC doesn't need us and frankly, the powers that be in that conference view Oregon and the west coast as "lesser than" in regards to the SEC. I don't think they would see any mutual benefit to it and the geographic hassles it would provide.

I completely disagree. Why do you think Saban brought in Kiffin? He saw what Mariota was doing to offensives and realized his offense was woefully out of date. Kiffin brought the west coast offense to bama and we saw Hurts and Tagovailoa tear up the SEC with a version of the west coast offenses. With Kiffin's vision they then brought in Bryce Young and continued the trend. I think the SEC has nothing but respect for the Pac-12, however they continue to remain comfortable as we have no shot at all at recruiting the defensive players they are able to recruit in the SEC so we are not much of a threat. UNLESS......we could recruit from the same pool as they did.

Yeah! Phil Knight is actually considering the SEC, so that could be a secondary option if we don't go to the B1G.

Plus we may finally get Oregon vs Alabama if we do it!

It seems the SEC is a much longer shot. Again no one has any absolutes or facts here but just based on the chatter it sounds like the BIG is the first choice.

Pretty funny read out of SEC country about which PAC schools they should add.

I think this process will take a LONG while

From everything I've heard and read the conclusion I've come to at this point in time is that nobody truly knows anything outside of conference and school top brass. My gut feeling says in the end nothing happens immediately and in a year or two we will see realignment with the big 12 and possibly the ACC. I don't think the B1G has any interest in bringing in Oregon unfortunately. If they did it would've happened with USC/UCLA. The only no brainer for the B1G is Notre Dame, and they don't even seem all that hung up on them either. The B1G got what it wanted with getting Southern California TV viewers and recruiting grounds. Oregon doesn't bring enough to the table. The only thing Oregon can bring is viewers, which I don't think is enough in itself for the B1G. People can say Nike all they want, but remember Oregon is Nike, Nike is not Oregon. Nike can't buy or bully Oregon's way in. The B1G and its schools can easily tell Nike to go pound sand and they'll take their business to one of its competitors at the first opportunity.
