Love the schedule.
I suspect this hints at something we will see in a few other sports.
In the past a few sports had lots of non-conference east coast travel, presumably in an effort to improve their strength of schedule.   Then they played their Pac-12, with most games 2 or 3 flight hours or less from home. 

Now, I think we will see teams playing as many quality or decent western USA teams as possible in the non-conference portion and then travel to ACC venues for conference games.

I can only imagine this could mean Stanford teams will play UCI, UCD, CSUF and SDSU more often than before, while rarely playing against BigTen and SEC teams.
