The Mountain West presents a real option to join or merge with the Pac teams that remain, but what about the American Conference, which just reloaded after losing UCF, Houston, and Cincinnati?
On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin talks about why the AAC doesn’t present a wildly more appealing home for the remaining Pac schools than the Mountain West.
Plus, the 2023 preseason AP Top 25 shows us just how crazy it is that the Pac-12 will cease to exist as we know it starting next year.
Arizona State enters Year One under Kenny Dillingham with one of the lower win totals in the betting markets in the entire Pac-12.
I make my 2023 record prediction for the Sun Devils, who just might endure growing pains this season—and that’s OK.
