With San Diego State and SMU’s move to the Pac-12 seemingly the latest realignment dominos to fall, the Power 5 conferences will look vastly different in a couple years’ time than they do now.

How soon could new schools contend for conference championships in their respective leagues?

On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin looks at how quickly new schools could make a significant impact.

FanDuel, the sports gambling company, has been making moves in the sports media/broadcasting space. It’s not likely (though not impossible?) they would become an entity in the Pac-12’s media deal.

The non-conference portion of the 2023 college football schedule was recently released and week 1 has a great lineup of nationally televised games for the Pac-12.

Week 2 is, arguably, even better for several reasons and will give the league great opportunities to win on national TV.
