It's Official....Stanford, Cal and SMU to the ACC.

What happens to the rest of the PAC.

It’s final: ACC presidents have approved expansion to add Stanford, Cal and SMU, sources tell @YahooSports, ending a month-long saga into an issue that divided the league.

I read that the AAC is pushing hard for Oregon State and Wazzou. I think their best bet would be MWC if they can't force their way into the Big 12.

Wazzu and OSU should keep the PAC 12 brand. Then add programs from the MWC and AAC.

From the MWC:
SDSU
Fresno
Nevada
UNLV
Boise
Utah St
Colorado St
New Mexico

From the AAC:
Tulane
Memphis

This would be best case scenario for Pac and would almost certainly secure the 5th best conference status....

I don't think so. They are now part of the G6 regardless of the name of the conference. It's exactly what the big boys were gunning for.

I agree they will be part of "G whatever" but still the 5th best conference which is what will be important for playoff. Similar to what AAC has been for past 10 years...of course who knows what this does for MWC leftovers

SEC
BIG 10
ACC
BIG 12

MWC Dead

I know I'm a novice when it comes to giving an opinion and being in the know.....but the more I see these stories, the more I thank GOD for the Sunbelt. These big conferences make NO geographical sense.

Said the same thing to some work friends this week when we were talking football. 10 years ago would you have thought the Belt would have nailed it on all this realignment stuff? At least up until this point. We may add the University of Alaska Northwest Campus out of Nome for all we know.

We'll see how long it lasts. Damn it, I miss the college football I grew up with.
