I can’t believe that one of the top conferences wouldn’t add Stanford and Cal. If the big12 or big 10 added them they could set up two divisions. You could have an east and west division You would put all the pac 12 teams in the west division and preserve some of the rivalries. it would also cut down travel.

There's a chance that $C is putting the fly in our B!G ointment. Why? Because, like playing and losing to FCS schools, Cal is, every 10 years, or so, a spoiler for $C and that's just too humiliating and dicey for the prideful Tommy Trojan.
