The Big ACC?
![]()
As an alum and supporter of the Pac-10, I just want this situation to end. If we're going to 16 teams, then great. If not, I won't care any more than I already do. It would be awesome to see how the addition of two storied programs in Texas and Oklahoma, but all this talk is weary.
The Big ACC?

from Billy Liucci just now:
Was just informed from sources that OU is 100% all-in with Texas, whether it's Big 12 or Pac-10 3 minutes ago via web
I always figured it's more likely to end up with 5, with the MWC and merging of Big East/ACC filling the way.
The Big East/ACC merging is rumored to occur after the Big Ten and SEC rape them for teams![]()
Surprise Surprise. OU either didn't think they could hack it in the SEC and/or thought the Pac-10 was an easier route to a BCS game.
Nope. My wife went to Baylor, my nephew and most of my friends went to A&M, and I pretty much hate everything about UT.
Losing Colorado and Nebraska means no conference le game with only ten teams, right? Teams like OU that want to win national les probably like the idea of one fewer chance to get tripped up.
something must be done about these conference names now, Pac 10 is easy, they can put any number behind Pac, or just be the Pacific Conference; but one or both of the "Big" conferences needs to change to a regional moniker.
since the number of teams will probably be in flux for the foreseeable future, they should just become the Big North and the Big South, ditch the numbers altogether.

True, unless the Big XII pe ions the NCAA for a special rule.
Perhaps, they might miss the pay day that the championship game provided as well.
So besides Utah to the Pac 10+2, whats next? Big 12, Big 10, and SEC im assuming are sticking with what they have. MWC will likely need to replace Utah, to get back to 10 teams and have any hope of securing a BCS autobid...but who is really left thats going to make the conference stronger?

In FBS there's Big East, Big 10, and Big 12.
In FCS there's Big Sky and Big South
Big West is a non-football conference.
So if you make the Big 10 the Big North, the Big 12 becomes the Big Center...
Good point. However, they just got a rather substantial pay increase that likely makes up for a championship game. And I don't think a conference championship game makes up financially for the BCS le game you miss if you lose.
So let me get this straight.
the Big 12 will not get the Championship game, and will have only Ten members with a weaker north due to power grab of the South?
How is this supposed to make them have better BCS cred when they basically became the old PAC 10 with less TV markets?
Nebraska has been so-so the last decade and Colorado has been a stain.
The Big XII lite loses little to no cred.
crofl!
Nebraska and Coplorado have been the strongest north teams in the 2000s. You now just have Mizzou. UTah just went to the PAC. Sorry. No Championship bowl game and only 10 teams. hyeah right! LOL.
The strongest North teams in a conference where the South has ruled.
lol, Kstate and Kansas will continue to schedule cupcakes and will be outspent in that unequal conference with unequal revenue sharing. Mizzou might make a splash.. but you're conference is weak now.
The Pac 10 just added a team that beat Alabama. Sorry guy.
crofl!
The North has been the last decade. The Big XII loses nothing with Colorado leaving and loses just a little with Nebraska leaving (a team that TTU has been kicking the crap out of in recent years).
If a team in the Big XII lite goes undefeated, they will be in the le game, guaranteed.
crofl Utah giving the pac10 cred
If Wikipedia is correct, Colorado had four winning seasons since 2000. That's a lot closer to stain than major draw.
sorry blake but you've been our this whole decade. Even in the 2-10 year, Tech was the first opponent colorado sploaded.
So tech's job just got easier.
we're one of 4 teams to have won the Conference and were the North Champs for a majority of that time.
LOL BAYLOR!!!
which means nothing in terms of how much of a stain Colorado has been.
The road still goes through Austin and Norman. Nothing changed for Tech.So tech's job just got easier.
lol big xii north champs having a 7-6 record
lol 70-3
lol 70-3's
lol Craig James
lol Mike Leach's firing
lol handjobs on National TV
What handy on national TV? I only saw that UTEP one a couple years back.
