With the CFP expanding to 12 teams I think there is the possibility of being nationally relevant as a team even if not in the BIG or SEC. Pair that with a Stanford degree and it’s not the worst option.
Being in the BIG with a 6 team (assuming Cal too) or even 8 team (with the northwest little sisters) division would be a pathetic humiliation of the core of PAC absorbed into the BIG. However, the benefits of scheduling a west coast division of BIG, along with the sizable conference payouts, would be rather large-filled stein able to wash down a generous helping of eating crow. Unfortunately it just doesn't sound like joining the BIG is a likely prospect (unless a hail mary happens to connect) for us for 2024, or even 2025. Maybe after that? So we need more immediate plans.
