The Pac-12 could soon die. Realigment is going to dominate our lives for the next 72 hours if not the next few weeks before we finally get back to watching actual college football on television.
The staffs at Trojans Wire and Ducks Wire discussed realignment scenarios. We start with Oregon and what will happen to the Ducks.
Don Smalley, Ducks Wire: I never believed it before now, but I think with the lack of a decent media deal, Oregon has no choice but to jump ship to the Big Ten.
Matt Zemek, Trojans Wire: The Big Ten doesn’t necessarily want Oregon or Washington, but if the Pac-12 dies, will the Big Ten have a choice? Superconferences will emerge, and Oregon will be in the Big Ten.
Zachary Neel, Ducks Wire: The end result in my mind has always been Oregon following USC to the Big Ten. Whether that happens now or in six years, I truly believe that is the final result. Let’s get it over with now and stop talking about it.
Matt Wadleigh, Trojans and Buffaloes Wire: With all of the smoke going on around the country, it would be stunning not to see Oregon join the Big Ten. It makes sense for all sides, especially with the Pac-12 getting worse by the day.
