This fall Pac-12 Conference will officially lose USC, UCLA, Washington, and Oregon to the Big Ten, then Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah to the Big 12, and finally Cal and Stanford to the ACC. 

That leaves Oregon State and Washington State as the lone teams to a conference, at best, on the brink. But don’t tell the Pac-12 that. The league is not planning to fold; in fact, it plans to go hard to recruit teams to join a revamped conference soon. 

Bookies.com veteran oddsmaker Adam Thompson has revealed his betting odds as to which teams would be poised to join a new-look Pac-12 Conference.

Potential New Pac-12 Teams

Reports suggest the Pac-12 will be looking into expanding very soon. It’s pretty late on the calendar to be looking to add teams, with all but two of its members gone starting in 2024. 

The only teams left, Washington State and Oregon State, aren’t sitting by idly waiting for a Pac-12 that’s botched every previous realignment moment. They’re expected to receive offers from the Big 12, and the ACC is also in the mix, especially as that conference deals with potential losses of its own (Clemson, Florida State, and North Carolina are considering bailing for the SEC or Big Ten). 

In fact, the two final member schools leaving for a new conference and turning the Pac-12 into a zero-school conference is the most likely scenario according to the odds.

If the Pac-12 does expand, look to the Mountain West and AAC conferences as its most likely pools of future fish.

A merger of sorts with the Mountain West makes sense from a geographic standpoint. If that’s the case, five schools head the way. San Diego State and Colorado State seem like no-brainers based on location, success, and population. UNLV gets the conference into Vegas, Boise State is a football brand. They both make considerable sense. 

Fresno State is a bubble school, as is New Mexico, but if the conference wants to get to eight teams, they have an edge over others. 

The Pac-12 could head further east, notably invading Texas for talent. UT-San Antonio took third in the AAC, behind SMU (going to the Big 12) and Tulane. Like UTSA, Florida Atlantic joined the AAC in 2023, but could be another key target further east into another athletic hotbed state if the media money is there.
