Pac-16 might get creative with divisions

Wilner goes into more detail:

Hereâ€™s my educated guess as to how the conference would handle the situation. Call it the pod rotation system:

1. Divide the 16 teams into pods of four: the Northwest schools, the California schools, the Mountain schools and the Texas/Oklahoma schools (or the Kansas/Oklahoma schools).

Youâ€™d play the three teams in your pod every year and two teams from each of the other three pods to form the nine-game league schedule.

2. Pair two sets of pods to create one eight-team division and two sets of pods to create another eight-team division.

3. Keep the pods together for two years to provide home-and-home scheduling, and then switch the pod pairings.

In other words, the California schools could be paired with the Mountain schools in a division for two years, and then the California schools could be paired with the Northwest schools in a division for two years â€¦ and so on.

The Pac-16 really lends itself to the 4x4 format. I was considering the possibility of the 4x5 format that would come from 4 20 team uberconferences, and came to the same conclusion as the OQP,

1. UCLA, USC, Stanford, Cal
2. Oregon, Oregon State, Washington, Washington State
3. Arizona, Az State, Utah, Colorado
4. big 12 schools.

Pairing the pods up to create temporary divisions is an interesting idea. These are strange days we live in my friends.

I like the idea of two 8 team divisions. The In-N-Out Division and the Whataburger Division
