Pac-12 Based on Geography

Staying Around (12): Washington, Washington State, Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford, Cal, USC, UCLA, Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, Colorado

Amazingly, there is one Power Five conference who is already getting it right and knows how to look at a map. While the conference may add some other teams later, they seem content with being at a dozen members for the moment.

If the Pac-12 does decide to one day at some more teams, it appears more and more likely that teams such as Boise State, BYU and even Fresno State will get consideration. The conference danced a little with Texas for a while, but ultimately the Longhorns decided that yearly trips to places like Eugene, OR and Pullman, WA were a little much even for their program.
