Pacific-12 Conference (FBS Group Of Six)
Overview: There are so many reasons to like the new Pacific-12 Conference, or Pac-12 for short.
One reason may be the competitiveness of the programs themselves, as six of the eight teams were bowl-eligible in 2025, with all six squads settling for a combined 3-3 record in bowl games. That included Washington State outlasting Utah State 34-21 in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl on December 22.
Another reason could be that most of the new programs in the Pac-12 came over from other conferences. Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State, and Utah State all joined their new league from the Mountain West Conference, while Texas State made the move from the Sun Belt Conference. That leaves Oregon State and Washington State as the only squads to not change conferences.
But maybe the biggest reason the new Pac-12 may be so well-liked is the way the conference schedule is set up. All eight teams will play seven conference games, with a "flex game" scheduled for the final week of the regular season on the week of November 28. The top two teams will play each other in the Pac-12 championship game on December 4.
With that said, expect a competitive race for the inaugural crown of the all-new Pacific-12 Conference this fall.
