North: Stanford, USC, Oregon, OSU, Washington, WSU, Utah
South: USC, UCLA, Arizona, ASU, Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas

OU and USC would be a big national game. Colorado gets OU and KU back on the schedule rivals from the Big 8.

UCLA-Arizona-Kansas would be epic for men's basketball.

Kansas and its 24,000 football crowds is not as much of an issue from the PAC perspective when you've got half empty stadiums around the conference. Oklahoma can more than make up for it because they can deliver fans (in the stands and bring fans out) across the league.

In the B1G you'll be permanent second fiddle to Michiagn-Ohio St playing in that conference, IMO.

Four California schools want to stay in the same division. If they are not happy, PAC-XX will not stay together long.

They're not in the same division right now

Right now it is slightly acceptable.

It is one thing to travel to Colorado. It is the other to travel to Kansas.

When PAC-XX grows to include three time zones, it has to be West-East.

Yes they are in separate divisions currently, but they also have a guarantee to be permanent crossover games each year. Any PAC expansion that keeps USC/UCLA and Stanford/CAL in separate division will maintain the crossover guarantee in football.
