I can share in the schadenfreude regarding USC; but let's all be aware that the Pac-12, of which we are still a member, will now get a lot less money during the bowl season. Every bowl-eligible team in the Pac-12 now sinks down a level in the bowl pecking order. Even worse: the Big Ten most likely now has TWO teams eligible for the CFP, so even more money for the conference that USC and UCLA are dumping us for.
The only damage control for the Pac-12 is if USC can manage to replace Ohio State in whatever New Year's Six Bowl the Buckeyes were pegged for. That would give the Pac-12 two New Year's Six Bowls. Otherwise, USC drops to the Alamo Bowl, the Huskies drop to the Holiday Bowl, the Ducks drop to the Sun Bowl, etc. Not a good look for the Pac-12.
Let's all hope TCU hangs on and wins the Big 12. Otherwise, we might see a CFP with two teams each from the SEC and the Big Ten.
