New Pac 12 division alginment idea

[Jens1893]

So withthe four-division looking thingy - how do you get to the championship game?

It´s actually only 2. 2 columns left and 2 columns right, but I had to read the full article and look at it twice myself.

By taking care of the little things.

Seriously, no clue. Top two records?

Navy, it is two divisions. The six teams to the left of the big black line and the six teams to the right of same line. Win your division to get to championship. Each year you play everyone from your division and row, so the Buffs would play UW, O, UCLA, Cal, UofA, ASU, and Utah. We then rotate between the other four teams (USC, Stan, OSU, WSU).

[NashBuff]

I endorse that idea especially where CU would still play ASU and Utah. That should be what the Pac-12 is like.

Anyone come up with this Hybrid yet? North and South Divisions with each division taking one school from NorCal and one from SoCal

South
CU
Utah
ASU
UA
UCLA
Cal

North
UW
WSU
UO
OSU
Stanford
USC

Thanks, Rugged. Now it makes sense.
Man, don't know about that one. If it stumps a Navy Nook - it's way too complicated!

Imagine what that'll do to the 'sker and lammie fans trying to figure that out!

Yes, it's called the California zipper, and is referenced earlier in the thread (with Cal and Stanford switched).

Scott said something today about potentially moving the big rivalry games to midseason to avoid the rematch scenario in the CCG and also to make sure the last game of the season is a division game.

This is the best setup i've seen. No, i'm not worried about CU's side being too stacked. How many different champions have represented the rose bowl over the past 20 years? Before USC's latest run, it's changed quite frequently with only Cal, OSU, and Arizona missing out. Utah has had arguably the most success over the past five years besides USC. I think ASU/USC/Stanford/OSU provide some great recent rivalry, just as I think CU/UW/Oregon/UCLA are all great natural rivals to promote each year.

This is a great plan. The best one i've seen yet. I hope Scott and his group seriously consider this because it delivers what everybody is looking for.

Agreed. Only thing I would change is switching either UW or Oregon for their respective "state" school (WSU or OSU).

I figure I am going to be happy with whatever comes about - assuming all get a game with a Socal school every year. With a 9 game conference schedule and a championship game, nobody gets to win the conference by ducking anyone.

[Highlander27]

Personally I'd much rather have road trips to Autzen and Husky stadium vs. OSU and Pullman. Ugh. I'll admit, i'm doing it for selfish reasons. I've always wanted to see a game at Autzen, and my parents live in Bremerton so the trip to Seattle is a lot easier for me.

UW/UofO.

[buff190]

I Still like the california zipper better than this. but if they do decide to go with this one, I agree with several here to switch washington schools or oregan schools.

[Buffarino]

When is this **** going to be finalized?
