An arrangement between the ACC and the PAC-10 could create synergies without actually merging.

"The ACC and Pac-12 have discussed what has been termed a "loose partnership" that could end the season with the conferences playing a "championship game" in Las Vegas, sources confirm to CBS Sports."

The link to the Canzano blog in the CBS artice is worth checking out. Oregon's media value ($30M?) compared to USC ($75M?) is not going to make them more attractive to other conferences (at least in a way that would benefit them compared to what they could do by maximazing the new Pac-10 operation).
