Oregon State and Washington State absolutely have a path to one day building the Pac-12 into the premier G5 conference in all of college football.
As they plot their next moves on that front, patience is indeed a virtue for the ‘Pac-2’.
On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, I dive into the potentially precarious and cautionary tale of SMU as they dive into the ACC in 2024.
Will expansion really help save some future versions of the Pac-12 in the current media landscape?
I also take a look at grading each Pac-12 team’s performance in 2023 compared to their expectations as he hands out his annual grades.
Plus, what will happen with the Pac-12 bowl game tie-ins now that the league has just two teams left?
