Assuming Texas/Oklahoma hold the cards on whether another realignment cycle begins, it's quite possible the P5 membership remains in tact through the next decade. The Big 12 is still being paid handsomely on the power level, and there has been nothing (yet) to indicate that Texas/Oklahoma would want to become a secondary decision maker in a new conference. While the PAC has had its noticeable share of bad PR stories with regards to organization, it is still unlikely that any of them try and move given the academic and historical associations that many of them share. The ACC has a GOR, which discourages any departures there. It would be a huge shock if any member willingly decided to leave either the B1G or SEC. Notre Dame is also very pleased with their arrangement, so they aren't looking to start making waves now.

Within the G5, there are also only a select number of programs that will likely be considered for a potential move-up, and they include BYU, Cincinnati, Houston, Memphis, UCF and USF. Everyone else outside of that exclusive group is likely to be on the outside looking in.

PAC 12 can't get the Texhoma 4 so Boise State, Hawaii, UNR, San Diego State, Colorado State and New Mexico are their short list. The fans would like the 1st 4 mentioned in the PAC 12, but they have been soured to having Colorado in the PAC 12.

Do you have a credible link that details the PAC 12's "short list"? The fans can want Michigan and Ohio St but University Presidents make those decisions.
