Not surprisingly, the top 5 teams with the most travel next year are former Pac-12 teams; Stanford is third behind Cal and UCLA. I'm sure the welfare of the student athlete is at the top of decision-makers minds.
BC
Of note in his chart, 2016 Cal and 2017 Stanford involved Syndey games, 1996 BC, 1997 Minnesota, and 2011 Colorado involved Hawaii games, and 1996 Notre Dame involved an Ireland game, which definitely skews things with just one game.
1994 Miami feels like a typo since other than a game in Tempe they just went up and down the East Coast a few times.
2023 UCF is the first pre-2024 one on the list not affected by just one game, as last year's spread out Big 12 (more spread out this year of course) led to 2 games in KS, one in OK, one in TX, and an OOC game in ID. A preview of things to come this year.
