do plan on kicking UNM out? nm i need to read before i reply -.-

If youre using android, look up Scores Widget. its what i use. auto refreshes and lets you select which teams to show

Haha you turned to ChatGPT to produce smack talk for you?

Theres a lot of parity this year.. and its still early in the season. Outside of Georgia, Texas and maybe tOSU who does look top 10 material? Yet by definition there needs to be a top 10.

Every fan base grumbles about the refs and nobody in this thread blamed them for the loss. I would disagree Oregon outplayed us. They had a clear speed advantage in several skill positions. The fact we were in the game, when Vegas had us losing by 20, speaks to how we played.

Refs also ejected our team captain on defense on a sus targeting call. I mean it wasnt even called a foul, let alone targeting. Even the broadcast B10 ref said it wasnt targeting

Culture war is tiring

The only option that doesnt seem bat-sh*t crazy and/or within the realm of possibility is #3, but I just dont see them executing to it. Seems to be a canyon size difference between P2 and MWC positions. So the next 12 months will be very interesting. I think the possibility of PAC and MWC both existing is nil. Another interesting bit from the OSU guy was he kept referring to Power 5 and said PAC is a power conference while it exists. That makes me think they are still on the rebuild path.. dont see how they will accomplish it but they must have some backdoor stuff going on to have any measure of confidence in that strategy.

True.. thats a good point. I dont know man, I simply cannot see 6 MWC teams joining them just so they (OSU/WSU) can retain money. It would be horribly expensive for questionable gain. The only path would be 9 MWC teams at a minimum but I just dont see getting 9 university presidents to agree to bone the other 3 and OSU/WSU seem to have zero appetite for going beyond 6. I just dont see what OSU/WSU strategy is here. There was an interview with the OSU AD recently where he mentioned there will be more P4 teams on the 2025 schedule than 2024. ACC kept coming up as far as the CW rights and exposure.

I believe they are going independent and continue to wait for ACC movement. Nobody is moving out of MWC to join them because it financially makes no sense. Now if Calford comes into play that would change the equation.

I just don't see what's in it for MWC schools. You'd create a new conference to compete with for the CFB playoff spot. It would be a worse bball conference, so likely fewer tourney credits. And it's be $17-$34 million just to join. That tv deal have to be way better to cover all that

Need a total of 8 for a conference

Is the CFB payout the same for independents? I didnt think it was

We made the scheduling work in 2024 via the agreement and MWC teams dropped a conference game. Without the agreement, I assume the number of conference games goes back to normal. Therefore.. who even has an opening in 2025 to schedule these two?

Pretty sure everyone in MWC is happy where they're at. Not seeing what advantage being in an expanded PAC# provides anybody other than OSU/WSU
