Pac-12

The Pac-12 has a pretty straightforward way to hold their own within this realignment plan. Upon losing Arizona and Arizona State, all they would have to do is acquire Boise State for strength, and Utah State for rivalry.

Boise State has been at the pinnacle of Group of Five powers for many years, and they have shown no sign of slowing down regardless of how many Pac-12 schools they face each year. And with the Pac-12 being the weakest Power Five league as of late, how much would they have to worry about their future?

Meanwhile, Utah State helps the conference by reviving a rivalry between themselves and the Utah Utes, who have proven to be a solid addition to the Pac-12 ever since they joined it 10 years ago.

These relocations will keep the Pac-12 at the member count they currently possess while increasing their depth, particularly with the Broncos’ inclusion.
