This is a crazy basketball conference.

Going to be a fun season

[Jake Butt @Jbooty88]

If we’re moving towards an NFL style system then using “ranked wins” has to go away. We value a win over #25 when objectively, 5-10 teams on a given week could realistically hold that spot?

Imagine a random cutoff of a moving target in the nfl deciding playoff spots?

[parker fleming @statsowar]

Imagine college football adopts a system where teams are regionally clustered and schedule the schools close by. Then, every year, the teams from each cluster are paired up for competitive matchups in destinations where fans can go celebrate the season and watch a great game.

[Cole Adams @coleadamss]

Saint Louis looks like the best mid major team in the country and they a super fun upcoming schedule

[Shaun / Pac-12 / West Coast Sports @futurecoug]

I see a 4-bid league 👀👀👀

[Nathan Carroll @Nathan_Boise]

Current look at the PAC-12 according to KenPom.

Broncos projected to finish 22-9, which likely would land them on the bubble on selection sunday

[Shaun / Pac-12 / West Coast Sports @futurecoug]

Absolutely wild. Happy for Rivers & NC St - skeptical this will work

[On3 @On3]

BREAKING: Philip Rivers has accepted the NC State head coaching job, returning to his alma mater, @Clowfb and @PeteNakos report🐺

An official announcement is expected in the near future.

Yes

C can stay

[First and 16 - A Big 12 Show @Firstand16_Pod]

You get to permanently REMOVE one thing from college football:

A. Conference realignment
B. The multi-transfer transfer portal
C. NIL collectives
D. The CFP selection committee

Which one are you eliminating?

[RedditCFB @RedditCFB]

Current Top 25 by 2022 conference:
• 8 teams: SEC
• 5: Pac-12
• 3: Big 12, Big Ten
• 2: ACC, Independent
• 1: American, Mountain West

[Shaun / Pac-12 / West Coast Sports @futurecoug]

WSU still tops the entire G6 in viewership (by a LOT) & would be Top 12 in the ACC & Big 12

[Danny Neckel @DNeckel19]

College football total measurable TV viewership through week 10:

[Shaun / Pac-12 / West Coast Sports @futurecoug]

Might be what his recruits wanna hear but absolutely the last thing his employer or fans wanna hear

[On3 @On3]

NEW: Memphis head coach Charles Huff on coaches recruiting against him:

"Every time a coach says, 'Coach Huff ain’t going to be there,' it actually works in my favor. Because if I’m leaving Memphis, I ain’t going to high school. I’m going to something bigger. So I tell the kids, 'you're going with me,' just like the 31 did at the other place."

[Shaun / Pac-12 / West Coast Sports @futurecoug]

This is great for college football. Also the new norm, hopefully. Well done Mississippi St

[On3 @On3]

BREAKING: Kamario Taylor is finalizing a $7.5M deal to return to Mississippi State in 2027, making him college football's highest-paid QB, @PeteNakos and @Clowfb report.

With incentives, the deal could potentially climb above $9 million.

Yet another example of how atrocious the Committee is

[Dirk Chatelain @dirkchatelain]

I know it doesn't matter, but this happens over and over with the SEC...

Mizzou: 6-3. Wisconsin: 6-3

Mizzou best Ws: Florida (5-4), A&M (4-5)
Wisconsin best Ws: USC (7-2), Penn St (5-4)

Mizzou Ls: Miss St (4-5), Ole Miss (6-3), Texas (6-3)
Wisconsin Ls: UCLA (9-0), ND (8-1), Iowa (7-2)

Mizzou is 23rd. Wisconsin is unranked.

[Shaun / Pac-12 / West Coast Sports @futurecoug]

ITS ALMOSY LIKE WE NEVER SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN RID OF REGIONAL CONFERENCE ALLIGNMENT IN THE FIRST PLACE

The dam will break on all this nonsense eventually. The bubble that will burst is the bloated & unsustainable TV contracts that started all this in the first place

[On3 @On3]

NEW: Missouri's Eli Drinkwitz on the elimination of conference championships:

"My question is why are we associated with conferences anymore if we’re not playing for a conference championship? If the point now is just to be playing into a sea of 24, are we just doing it for scheduling affiliation? If we’re just doing it for scheduling affiliation, is there a reason to be flying all the way across the country to play games from a national perspective?"

[Shaun / Pac-12 / West Coast Sports @futurecoug]

@HurleyMediaG Nope. Not on a roster for the season, at any level. Still in the Portal, I guess. Super weird

[Shaun / Pac-12 / West Coast Sports @futurecoug]

The 2026 season has begun & Myles Rice still doesn't have a home. Really, really strange.

[JPR @Scouting_Col]

Don’t understand how Myles Rice doesn’t have a portal home yet.

I understand the struggles at Indiana and Maryland the last two years, but this is exactly the type of player you want on your team.

Hopeful he lands in the WCC or Pac-12.

[Shaun / Pac-12 / West Coast Sports @futurecoug]

@zacyourback That is a wiiiiild stat

[Shaun / Pac-12 / West Coast Sports @futurecoug]

This is amazing because Joel Foxwell literally just left Portland this offseason for ASU & now his brother took his spot 😂

[NCAA Buzzer Beaters & Game Winners @NCAABuzzerBters]

If you aren't aware there are 3 Foxwell brothers (Owen, Joel, and Austin). Who are all D1 Point guards at 3 different schools.

[Glenn Osterhout @GlennOsterhout]

Hey Cougs, understand that I am no fan of ESPN, Fox, the Big-10 or SEC! That being said we all have to tune in Boise State vs. Oregon State on Saturday to show the country the TV draw of the Pac-12. TV viewership for the Pac-12 so far this year is strong & we must show the nation "what real college sports" is all about. After this game the Cougs kickoff at 7:30 p.m. PST on CBS - that is your football Saturday!

ESPN College GameDay (stops making jokes and) drops in on the Pac-12 https://t.co/0BJfowA0Tn via @YouTube

What a disastrous start to the season for the Big East

[Anand Nanduri @NanduriNFL]

They killed bowl games, regional conferences that are a reasonable size, conference championships, and a lot of the regular season value of the sport so they could shift everything to a 24 team invitational where a 3 or 4 loss team can potentially get hot at the right time and win all for the sake of the almighty dollar. The people who run this sport don’t care about anything other than money.
