Dropping the 9th conference game doesn’t make the PAC 12 instantly fixed but it would help a lot.

If schools are going to belly ache about CA presence and CA recruiting there’s Fresno St, San Diego St, and San Jose St they can schedule.

The odds of a rematch in the Big 12 Championship game is 100%. Should the Big 12 go to 8 conference games or fewer to avoid rematches? Should Oklahoma avoid playing the projected top team to avoid rematches? Is a rematch in the conference championship really a bad thing? Will the world end if Florida and Alabama play in the SEC Championship this year?

The Big 12 doesn’t suffer from the same absence of having multiple good teams at the top of the standings and in the national conversation that the PAC 12 has so I think their set up isn’t as problematic

Lack of depth of good teams isn't the Pac-12's problem, they have several teams that fall into the category of being a good #2 or the #3 or #4 etc.. team in the conference which the playoff rankings show. The Pac-12's problem is that they lack that team good enough to be the #1 team the way OU is to the Big-12 or Clemson is to the ACC
