The primary story line right now in college football, and really college athletics, is the radical realignment of the traditional conferences. It increasingly looks like we’ll end up with two major consolidated conferences, the Big Ten and the SEC, essentially turning college football into a version of the NFL. For now, the Big 12 and ACC are still hanging around, albeit in diminished, grotesquely mutated form. The big news this off-season was the death of the Pac-12, which lost Washington, Oregon, UCLA, and USC to the Big Ten, leaving the rest of its teams scrambling for someplace, anyplace, to go. Thus: California and Stanford are now in the ACC (with, uh, Syracuse and Georgia Tech); Colorado, Arizona, Arizona State, and Utah are now in the Big 12 (with, uh, Central Florida and West Virginia); and Washington State and Oregon State have been left behind. The ACC and Big 12 shouldn’t breathe easy; Florida State and Clemson are actively trying to get out of the ACC, and the Big 12 makes so little it’s difficult to understand how it can eventually survive.
