College Football:
Oregon State and Washington State will be joined by Boise State, Fresno State, San Diego State, and Colorado State in the Pac 12 starting in the 2026 season. Six-teams is still two schools short for an automatic conference bid to the College Football playoff. It remains to be seen if more Mountain West Conference teams get poached. The Nevada Schools - Reno and Las Vegas have high potential.
