Big Ten Goes to 18; Big Twelve to 16; PAC-12 in Question

    Quite a weekend that happened to the FBS NCAA world, and my teams are all a part of it.

    The Big Ten has expanded to a whopping eighteen teams, adding Washington and Oregon, to completely cover the far West corner of the country. Now it will have four Pacific time schools, which is better for UCLA and USC, most of us think. But the conference is kind of a monster of sorts, but that monstrosity does involve a lot of money.

    The Big 12, which lost its big schools of Texas and Oklahoma, upsized with two East Coast programs, and BYU in the Mountain West, but completed the cannibalization of the poor PAC-12 by snatching Utah, Arizona, and Arizona State, after already getting the commitment of Colorado. At least the Big-12 will only cover three time zones, instead of the four that the Big Ten is doing.

    This leaves Cal-Berkeley, Stanford, Oregon State, and Washington State to figure things out. Keep the name and add teams like Gonzaga, Boise State, San Diego State and a few others? Join the Mountain West? Hmmmm...

    The world keeps changing.

    Still a fan of my alma maters IU and BYU, but UCLA not so much...
